Welcome aboard, Matt, when it comes to finding motivation and all things weightlifting, you're in the right spot. Quite a few of us have injuries of some sort we're trying to work around so keep you eyes peeled for some new ideas.
Make every workout count and keep up the good work.

So umm, I've been lurking for a bit and that little bar at the top of the screen finally made me write something here.
Name: Riddles
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Training Experience: I read a book once
Interests: Martial arts, nerdy stuff.
This forum came up in one of the many searches I did in the search to find sources to get stronger and in general more awesome. Found some good stuff in here too. I'm debating on whether I should start a workout log thread but I tend to start those things and then stop updating them after a short while. Not to mention having that kind of stuff up on the web.
Currently training to get better at my sport as I'm going overseas to compete later this year. But I keep seeing people around the place and in the gym doing powerlifting and strongpersoning and drooling at how much fun it looks so if I can crosstrain.

Welcome new folks I'm fairly new as well and everyone on here will be welcoming and offer any advice they think of that might help.
On your profile you should get a prompt to create a training thread, or you can just go to the threads and either create a new topic or find one you're after.
