OK decided to stop lurking and start posting. Came to the Introduce Yourself section for the first time and was a bit freaked out to find the intro thread has my name in the title. That is very weird.
Anyway here I am.
Age: 40yo
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 75kg
Gender: Male
Location: Sydney
Experience: About 4 years
Regret wasting my physiological prime but so glad I finally started training in mid 30s. Not huge and not ripped but doing my best to be both in the future - preferably at the same time!
Still so much to learn

Have no room + renting where i am living now but i will have over 100sqm of space to fill with all the equipment i could ever need/want in a months time so will be starting training once Ive moved and purchased equipment.

Name: Michael (mikey)
Age: 23
Gender: M
Location: Canberra, Australia
Occupation: Telstra, (If you have any unresolved issues, shoot me a PM ill see what i can do.)
Past Professions: Security Guard
Training Experiences: Training for approx 4 years with a range of different style people
Interests: Anything with a motor (Currently a 450 dirt bike)
Current Weight: 123kg
Height: 183cm
Goals: Loose weight to about 105kg and gain strength
Progress: about 3 years ago i lost about 27kg in 6 months, although was quite unhealthy. eg, Taking Duramine and eating basically a banana and 100g chicken each day.
After a change in job and relationship issues i got stressed and started packing the weight back on, and discovered i also have 3 bulging discs in my neck.
I'm currently back and focused and trying out intermittent fasting and training 4-5 times a week with a dirt bike ride on the weekend (anyone who rides will understand how psychically hard dirt bike riding is)
I've lost 8kg since starting intermittent fasting (123kg down from 131kg) and my strength is on its way back up.

Training Experince: going on four years - competed in 1 INBA competition
My goals are total Raw Elite and to win an open bodybuilding class. Currently, my focus is on powerlifting and I plan to compete in my first meet earlier next year and then several more after that. I am still learning a lot about powerlifting and any pointers would be nice, especially technique wise. If anyone has any questions about what contest prep is like feel free to ask as I only competed 5 months ago.
