Central Qld

Been back in the gym for 10 months or so and going pretty well but just lost some muscle mass which prompted me to look at this site.

I had been dropping a kilo or so of body weight every 2 months (typically put on 1 kilo muscle and drop 2 kilos of fat).

Lost more weight recently (about 3 or 4 kg) but nearly a kilo of that is muscle. Trying to work out why (might be the running I have been doing)

I had a few years of body building in my late 20's, early thirties and went from 85kg or so to a lean 95kg. Then over 100kg when I trained less.

I have been around the 103-108kg mark since then. I am 192cm tall.

Currently around 99kg but still 25% body fat. I'd like to get that down but also keep building muscle.

After my initial reading of posts (and thanks for the great contributions):

Go to a beginner's work out
Stop running!
Get more precise with the diet
Cut down on the alcohol

Currently I can bench 95kg for the third set (6 reps), Squats 100kg.

I have been on a 4 day split- pretty different to the beginners full body three times a week routine.

Looking forward to learning more and not being such a fatboy

Name: Graeme
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Location: Melbourne
Training experience: On and off for years - never hard core. Back into it at the moment - although lifting weight plates on and off shelves etc is sometimes enough for a day...
Any Interests: My three kids, my business, martial arts, the (somewhat) mighty richmond tigers, trying to keep up with technology....

I actually found the site because one of the members promoted my business website on it. Saw the link in my website tracking and followed it here. A week later we were sponsors.

I wish I had found the site personally a few years ago - it would have made a big difference to my training - as it is I've already modified my workouts based on what I've read here. Hope to be posting for a while to come...

Graeme.

Location: Rural Victoria

Training experience: I wouldn't call it experience yet... more like experimentation with workouts and nutrition

Any Interests: I'm currently studying beauty/dermal therapy and if I'm not working out you'll find me with family and friends

It would also be a good idea to say why you joined Ausbb: I've been using bb.com so thought I'd try a forum for Aussies

Do you have any goals in mind: I'm trying to put on muscle, although I work out I'm skinny and with clothes you'd be surprised that I use a gym

Are you trying to gain or lose weight: Lose fat and put on lean muscle like everyone else!

Perhaps you are already an experienced trainer and are looking to share your experience with others: I'm a newbie
