Ok guys I might aswell introduce myself.

Names Ian
From Northern Ireland
Place called Tyrone

I'm 18 years of age currently in upper 6th, studying biology, geography and chemistry.

Started trying to lift weights when I was 14-15 yrs not much happened.
I play a little too much hockey for a body builder train most days a week.

Started weigths properly when I was 16, I noticed I was getting stretch marks and got very upset about it when I learnd they don't go away, so I took 6 months out.

I now 6ft-1 14 and a quater stone no fat. Run maybe 7-12 miles a week.
I don't really like squats but I'm gonna give em a chance as they seem to be good for you.

I started weigths really because I felt I had to be different from other people and the heavy influence from years of watching swarzenigger and stallone. I after the jean claude van dam look lean hard quite muscular but super definition. My favourite company is maximuscle pity about the cost though!

Heres a week training session for me.

Sunday- heavy weights
Monday -intense fitness
tuesday rest
wedensday- match + weights
Thursaday -hockey practice, teaching mini hockey, town training -weights for 30 mins.
Friday rest
Saturday 2 full 70 min matches -moderate weights.

2 shakes a day.

Fav exercise bench press hit pb of 115 kgs other week!

anyway enough about me

What about everyone else?

Hi bud, AH SQUATS KING OF EXERCISES nothing better to start you off than a heavy set of squats but they are the exercise that stimulates growth all over .

Hi Everyone, My name is Phil, 26 from Leamington Spa

Well i joined a gym 2 years ago as i was weak and wanted something to do to stop me from going drinking all the time LOL

Anyway i started going 2 nights a week then started enjoying it so got to know a bit of knowledge from various articles then it just went mental and i can't get enough of it now, made good gains from training and eating correctly...........must keep it up LOL

gridrunner · 04-04-2004, 06:23 PM

Hi I am from Torbay Devon,
I started training about 12 or 13 years ago. I weighed 10 stone then. At my biggest I was a muscular 17 stone 10lbs and could bench press 500lbs.I have placed well in a few powerlifting competions and competed in only one body building show many years ago where I placed second. I have been a vegitarian for the last 3 years. Guys at the gym laughed and said I would shink away. I didnt I dropped about 5lbs and think I looked better. I havent trained for 9 months now due to setting up a business and have now lost size. I am weighing in at just over 15 stone.
My goal now is to get up to a fairly lean 17 and a half stone as I dont want anyone thinking all vegitarians are weak!!!!
