I joined Ausbb because after some quick research on the internet for suitable home gym equipment, it seemed to have the best real advice. Advice from people who have experience, and have been there done that.. I am unfit, out of shape and since leaving my trade for an office job years ago, have lost strength. If I don't turn it around soon, I will strugle to lift my kids onto my shoulders. I am looking forward to making change in my lifestyle, and setting a good example for my kids (by keeping fit, strong and healthy). This is my first post, but i already owe thanks to this forum for the knowledge gained over the last few days reading.

Thanks,

Ed.

- Training experience: On and off for a few years which was all sports related but never anything series ( I actually thought it was a waste of time when I first started playing competitive sport being in the gym doing weights and not spending that time practicing more the fundamentals :p

- Any Interests: Building/restoring hot rods & old cars, surfing & water sports, motor sport (Moto GP, Super bikes etc) and golf

I've been a long time reader and thought it was time to take the first steps to building a better, stronger, healthier and happy me. I've been crook for the past 5+ years and due to ill health and a bad frame of mind I've put on a few extra kilos (weigh 105kg's to be exact) but the ironic thing is I have muppet arms that would give kermit a run for his money, chicken legs and a nice ROUND belly where my stomach used to be. Not an ideal description for someone my height (190cms) so I purchased a squat rack with lat pull down facility, 7' Olympic bar & 150kg's of Olympic rubber weights, couple of kettle bells and a incline/decline bench.

My main goals are obviously to lose the belly, increase overall body strength and hopefully put on a few kilos for the right reasons. In doing this I'll have a body that wont break down if I decided to play sport again and so I can enjoy the day to day things like I used to.

Will take a few "before" pictures and get them up and hopefully in a few months (starting this health kick at the coldest part of the year in Tassie was smart :eek: will have some progress pictures to share with you all.

Cheers Ben

Hey guys, I found this site through the fitness section on NS.com
I moved to Vic at the end of last year and decided to join the gym to keep me busy.

Starting weight was 67kg.
For the first few months i followed the PT's program which didnt include any squats, deads or shoulder press :eek:

After lurking NS and this site I learnt a lot and made my own program.

Current lifts:
Deads: 130kg x6
MP: 55kg x 8
SQ: 100kg x 6
BP: 75kg x 7
Wide grip chins: 18

BW now at 79kg

Cheers,
Luke
