Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

Name: Mike
Age: 43 in Sep 2012
Gender: Bloke. The hairy-backed bald sort, with some grey chest hairs.
Stats: 175 cm, 89 kg. Carrying some extraneous gut, but don't really care. Hell, I'm married, I don't even need to suck it in any more.
Location: Dunsborough, WA
Day job: Software developer. So I sit on my arse a lot.
Training Experience: Trained on and off through my 20's. Gave it away in my 30's - fatherhood and work. Been back into it for nearly 2 years, but all my bits started snapping and pinging. Could have sworn I was immortal last time I did this; apparently in your 40's you have to know what you're doing.

Reason for being here: Was trying to debug a knee problem. Read about deep squats, on this site and elsewhere. Knees now wonderful. Ego very badly injured. Currently squatting newbie weights, aiming to progress to girly weights (*) real soon now. Also discovered that I have reached 42 without knowing about a posterior chain, or even having one, apparently. Have decided I need to learn how to deadlift. Have realised the extent of my ignorance of pretty much everything related to lifting heavy, and am doing what I can to improve the situation.

Issues: Isolation - small country town. Am grateful to even have a small, underequipped local gym, but the demographic is mostly school mum/elderly/physio rehab/skinny surfer. Am desperate to turn up somebody in the area who's interested in the practice and philosophy of powerlifting.

Goal: Strength, increased mobility, esp. hips. To compete in some sort of powerlifting comp when I'm in my 80's

(*) Apologies to actual girls here, most of whom can probably outsquat me
 
I hadnt actually noticed this thread yet, may as well tell a bit about myself:
Name: Lewis, or Flash
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Location: Hervey Bay, QLD
Training Experience: about 2 years on and off, never serious training until about 3 months ago
Interests: Well, mainly they include muscle cars (currently rebuilding an XA falcon in my spare time, of which there isnt much), playing guitar - have in a few bands across a few genres including pub songs, AFL - die hard Port Adelaide supporter, but dont mind rugby union either

I joined AusBB because i have recently started working out religiously and adhering to a very strict diet (which is almost never strayed from). I started working out as a cure for depression, i was in a very bad place about 4 months ago and couldnt see much reason to live - it was recommended that i exercise a bit more frequently, and it so has so far turned into an obsession. Going to the gym after work is the highlight of my day and i usually try to drag out the experience for as long as possible. that plus the gains i have been seeing from training properly and eating properly have really been a saviour for me, and give me much more purpose.

So the reason im here is to share things ive learned, share my experiences but most importantly learn from others. I may be 19 and under the impression i know everything but i am very willing to learn, and its an area i want as much knowledge as possible in. Also with money being a bit tight, things such as PT sessions are out of the question so its good to have a community of people that can help me along my journey.

Thanks for reading all that if you did :)

Age: 16
Gender: Male
Location: Melbourne, Vic
Training experiences: 1-2 years on and off, I have decided to take it seriously and train for a competition.
Interest: Studying Psychology, learning new things and hanging out with friends.
I joined AusBB to meet like-minded people and to help me stay on track on my bodybuilding journey. I have always been an indecisive person, I moved from this to that - but I have finally decided that I wanted to do this for my whole life. Bodybuilding is not just a few hours in the gym a week but it is a life-long journey 24 hours a day, it is a way of life. I want to compete next year and I’ll learn everything there is to learn from this forum.
