Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

Name - Dave
Age - 29
Gender - Male
Location - Perth (SOR)
Training experience (if you have any that is) - Done crossfit for a while, done a few cycles of Wendler, now I want to lift heavy shit.
Any Interests - Lifting heavy shit, basketball

It would also be a good idea to say why you joined Ausbb - Ran out of other forums to troll ;)

Do you have any goals in mind? Training for my sport, I need to be strong, fast, powerful and agile. A 500kg total, plyometrics, olympic lifting and sprint intervals will help with these.

Hi there, just wanted to introduce myself.....

Name: Darkoz

Age: 50

Gender: Male

Current Weight: 80kg

Height: 5'10"

Location: Adelaide

Job: Building Designer

Training experience: I've been training (Bodybuilding style) on and off for the past 30 odd years, I started weight training at 19 years of age and was consistent up until my early 30s when I had a break for around 5 years but have been fairly consistent since.

I've always had a high metabalism so I've never had to worry about my fat levels but since giving up smoking 4 months ago (smoked for 26 years) I've put on a few kilos and am now the heaviset that I've ever been and unfortunately it's also the first time that my ABS aren't defined which I'm not bloody happy about, not to worry though I'm on my way to change that.

Thanks for reading

Job: Studying Commerce

Training experience: Trained pretty inefficiently for a year or so, used to be 87kg and a lot higher bodyfat so I think I'm at a pretty good place to start training properly.

I made a log thread so that I can keep on track of my progress and motivated! Thanks guys.
 
Hi,

I recently had a long and hard think about my fitness goals and decided that I want to increase my overall strength which will hopefully bring size along for the ride. I don't want look back when im older and think, "wow, ive always been pretty much just an average guy (athletically)".

- Name - Leon
- Age - 23
- Gender - Male
- Body - 180cm, 71kg.
- Location - Brisbane Southside
- Training experience (if you have any that is) - No real weights training (apart from dumbells/pullup bar stuff at home) until i joined a gym 2 months ago. Again i'm one of those guys who didn't really know better at 17 and just did curls and pushups and wondered why i had good pecs and no general strength/size gains whatsoever.
- Any Interests - Sport, Weights, Women, Motorcycling, Cycling (racing)

I injured my shoulder through soccer back in May and didn't take it seriously at first. I ended up seeing a physio mid this year and was told i had multi-directional instability in my shoulder and needed to strengthen it by doing pushups against a wall and 1kg front raises! :S

I've since joined a gym and had about a dozen personal training sessions mainly to seek some professional advice about what i should be doing to rehabilitate my shoulder properly.

I've since progressed to about where i was pre-injury and i'm going to drop the personal training (its expensive! and im motivated enough to work out without someone counting) and embark on the Starting Strength program with possibly a minor amount of isolated shoulder work until everything feels 100%.

I also like the idea that at the local gym im going to (Suncorp stadium pcyc) the barbells and cages only get used by a few guys.

I joined Ausbb (after lurking for a while) because its a local bodybuilding forum mostly with good advice floating around, a positive culture and a minor amount of trolling (which is always good for a laugh anyway).

Goals would be 100kg bench, 140kg squat, 180kg deadlift. I currently haven't done anything heavy so its a bit hard to say where i'm at. Probably realistically at max 50% of all those weights. I think for my bench the most ive done is 4 sets of 10 reps at 50kg. Squats and deadlifts have been on 60kg but my personal trainer has kept the weights light for me to concentrate on the correct form, and which muscle groups i should be activating etc.

I've got a good diet, mostly good recovery, and a good beginner strength program on paper so hopefully i can start to get into it and see some good results.

G'day everyone.

Name : Ben

Age : 29

Gender : Male

Height : 183cm

Weight: 80kg

Location: Gold Coast

Occupation: Student

Interests : Music, motorbikes, camping, bodyboarding.

Training Experience : Don't really have any training experience. Used to do a lot of bodyboarding and pushie riding when I was younger. More recently played indoor soccer for a couple of years. Haven't played in about six months.

I joined Ausbb because I want to get into weight training and this site seems to have a lot of good, acurate infomation from experienced people.

Due to being a student and not playing indoor soccer anymore I don't really get much exercise. I want to build up my strength, stamina and flexability for bodyboarding and think the best, most convenient way of doing this would be with a home gym setup.

I plan to get a power rack and some free weights from gym direct and start doing something very similar to the beginners program on here.

Thanks, Ben.
