G'Day

Andrew69 · 09-03-2005, 11:00 AM

G'Day from Down Under!

Your friend and mine A.FreeRadical was kind enough to let me know about this great place...and here I am! :yes:

Its great to see many of the members I respected and learnt from at bb.com are actually mods here!

A little about myself..
Im 33 years old and trained for a quite a few years in my late teens, early twenties with pretty limited succes due to my lack of knowledge (nutrition)

I decided late last year that enough was enough, and that even though I wasnt grossly over weight (25 pounds or so), I was still too fat. I knew this cause the wife started to avoid me like the plague and that was something I did not like at all!

I bought myself an Oly BB and plates, a set of Power Blocks, built a squat rack and got stuck into it. Ive done 4 HST cycles with pretty good results and am getting back into it again after a layoff due to a 13 week, round the world trip (...yeah it sucked

). Just taking it easy for a few weeks, giving the old body time to get used to training again.

While I was away, I lost about 11 pounds of blubber with minimal muscle loss following the NHE eating plan. Lifts are all still pretty much where I would expect them to be after a 13 week layoff, but in another few weeks Ill test my maxes and see exactly where Im up to.

Soooo...Im glad to be here and eager to learn and progress!

Umm..we call them prawns, not shrimps!

and they are on the barbie, not in the larder (pantry)

Hence some famous sayings of:
don't come the raw prawn with me
off like a bucket of prawns in the sun
