Training Experience - I trained quite hard in my early 20's but let it slip and have missed it since. Recently got back into training, have amended my diet as well not that it was bad or anything have always maintained a relatively "clean" diet for the last 5 years. It's been great getting back into it, really wanting to grow quite a bit... i'm currently 80kgs and 187cm so i've got a fair way to go... my goal is a lean 88-90kgs...

Great site, I'm glad I stumbled across it!
I'm Theo. 28 years old from Melbourne
It's been over a year since I trained in a gym (used to go to Doherty's Dandenong for just over 2 years), but had over a year off and now have come back on deck to give it a go again. I had some decent gains last time, but I'm a push bike rider, so it's hard to balance both, as the cardio and weights don't seem to agree so much!
I just bought a Force USA rack and weights from Graeme (littlebloke) last weekend, so looking forward to training at home and actually learning proper techniques from this website. Being a rider, I have fairly decent leg strength, but would love to improve on my upper body (chest really), hence being able to bench at home without fear of being ridiculed! I have a bit of a funny left shoulder so hoping to strengthen it up again so I can start benching properly. My last figures were OK for a beginner, but nothing too special;
Bench - 80KG max (almost died at 90!)
Squat - 120KG max
Dead - 110KG
(Obviously I don't count the bar in this, which I assume is the correct way to do so)
Leg Press - 320KG (or whatever 700lbs is in KG). Struggled towards the end, but it's a good feeling when you have finished them
If there's any cyclists here (road or mountain bike), I'd be keen to have a chat too!)
Cheers,
Theo
