Again, the other is hundreds of pages, time to start fresh.
Here is where I am now:
Here is where I started:
Started at 140 lbs..currently 165 after a bout of hepatitis.
Heaviest Ive ever been is 183 lbs; Im 6 foot 1.
Ive been working out for about 3 years, but this last year (i say this every year) I feel like Ive only just started because my workouts are so much better than they used to be and my diet is settling down to a decent, well balanced plan I dont get sick of after a week.
I work out about 3x a week with a legs day, a chest/back day, and an arms and shoulders day. I frequently split biceps/triceps and shoulders into 2 different workouts though as the shoulders involve a lot of ancillary muscle movement.
I'll post a new one soon when I don't feel like a woman.
I've been working out for a lil' over 10 damn years now. My philosophy has always been intensity > all and powerlifting exercises (for the most part) done with excellent form to acheive strength first, mass second, and muscular development third.
In hikesschool I was a fat kid - roughly 210 pounds at 5 foot 10. Exercising became a way of life in college and I grew to 6 foot 1 and burned off all my fat, slimming down to 165. Then began my infatuation with weights and over then next few years steadily packed on pounds, reaching my heaviest at 213 (Jebus!). Now I stay around 205 and feel that's the perfect weight to maintain my strength and to still be agile on the basketball court.

freakin' truf Ygrene,Ive learned a lot from these threads. I look at my old workouts and they are horrifying haha
Demoted
All I have to say is that I'm getting there. I'm still skinny as a bitch but I ordered my Ons Whey (aka my stupid powder) it just has yet to show up. I've also added five pounds of muscle mass since I started working out. I'll will get there, ye balloon'd figurines of testosterone and dumbbells; I will get there.

currently at:
153 lbs
5'10
15 minute day workout everyday with dumbells and sit ups. the dumbells cover the legs (crouches) and the shoulders/arms while the sit ups cover the stmoach area so i think im good with that workout for now.
trying to slim down to 145 and develop more abdominal muscles come summer. then i get to bike and work the leg muscles more
aaand the obligatory body pic
nothing special. im looking for a more lean physique than muscular.

The thing that amazes me the most about him is that he has a low low low bodfat % which most strongmen usually don't have.
His max lifts (except for bench) are double the most I have ever lifted; just blows my mind.

Mariusz began training strength sports at age 13, in December, 1990. He entered his first national bench press competition at age 16 and pressed 160 kg (353 lb). Two years later, Mariusz improved his performance to 205 kg (452 lb).
Dizamn, yo!

so i've never really posted in the previous ones before, because mainly that style of working out was never really my thing. it still isn't now, i suppose. i mean, just run 2-3x a week; do some situps and pushups. i'm not looking to gain any strength or anything, just to maintain a healthy fitness level. the AF has mandatory PT 2-3x a week; and we normally do around 20 mins of cardio and then do some other stuff on my own. so really, i'll just do some additional running (sometimes....), pushups and stuff or play racquetball.
like i said, i've never been in to the whole "bulking" up style of working out. i'm just not into it; and it's not like a personal goal of mine.
but, with the new year, i've made it a goal to at least try something different....but still healthy. and so i've decided that i would like to gain some weight; and not the fastfood kind either. (note i said "some" weight....not looking to have like 20" biceps or anything. lol)
soo..................... (long story short)
i know that a good way to help add healthy weight is with protein shake/smoothy type stuff. question is, do you have those before or after a workout?
ps, my normal diet consists mainly of carbs to begin with. aside from daily banana or salad, it's mainly noodles and meat. and of course, the occasiaonl beer/wine :)

yeah Pudzian is the best. I gotta find that album he recorded with his brother
edit: I just visited his official website. He got his S-class Mercedes stolen and he got really pissed, but when the thiefs found out who they stole from, they gave the car back :haha:
