Hey guys,
Been about 7 years since I’ve been on the boards. I do see some names I recognize still. My old handle was Want2lift. Maybe someone remembers me, maybe not. Tried to get that handle back but it wouldn’t let me. I’m not a technology guy.
I’m 41 years old now. Trained hard from 20 years old until I was 34. Competed near the end of that as a heavyweight. Placed first in a few divisions at an amature show To get into provincials. I was the smallest heavyweight on stage but by far the leanest. Judges went for bigger and bulkier. Was a good experience.
At the end of my lifting career I was walking around at about 250 in the 5-6% range. Life took a nasty turn and I quit lifting completely. Slowly the weight came off. Was surprised how long it stuck around for. Definitely 4-5 years I was still a big man. Tore a bicep tendon off the bone and broke my neck. Two separate events. That really took some size off me. Multiple fractures c5-c6. Not good. Healed up just fine.
Started lifting again about three weeks ago. Really needed to get back into it. Some people hate ‘having’ to work out, I fucking love it. Smile ear to ear after every workout. Not sure my current weight as I literally haven’t been on a scale since I quit lifting 7 years ago. I’m guessing right around 200 but I really don’t give a fuck. Still have a fairly aesthetic look to me. Right lat is quite a bit smaller then left thanks to the broken neck. Going to be aiming for some growth and work on my symmetry.
Started doing a push/pull workout routine but four workouts a week so hitting everything twice a week. Focusing on the compounds for now with some clean up work as well. Probably will be sticking with this for some time as my current weights are embarrassing. Hoping things will come along quick at the start.
Been on HRT since I was 25. Never cycled until a few years into that. On 180mgs cyp a week now. Not looking to compete or anything. Just excited to be back in the gym.
That was supposed to be a quick run down but I suppose I got a little more into it then I’d figured I would.
Glad to be here. Always looking to learn. My years of lifting were all serious lifting, Worked with a few different coaches in the past, programming and diet. Done some powerlifting and Olympic lifting as well over that 15 years. I’m definitely not new to this so I’ll offer my two cents when I think I can help. Also trained and fought MMA as a younger man and really loved that.
