Hello there and welcome to the board
Glad to have a new member that has something under his belt. Maybe you can share some good experience with us. It's always good to give us your complete stats when we get going with Q and A .
Good luck from the old guy on the board !
was always athletic in high school / college but never lifted. hovered around 175 all through college, lean and muscular.
fast forward to my early 30's, tear some goodies in my shoulder while building a bunk bed for my kids. figure that's enough of that dad bod shit, time to get in the gym. was about 200# low 20's % bf then.
did everything wrong like most guys getting back to the gym in their early 30's. finally got educated and starting figuring things out a year into it and made some progress. shoulder got so badly impacted there were times i could standing shoulder press 80# dumbbells and times i couldn't lift a glass of water off the table. but! 185# at 12% and looking pretty good, feeling pretty good for a late 30's guy.
surgery, new job, life.. kept me out of the gym for over a year.
started getting back into lifting. started lifting heavy (for me)with some new coworkers. 400# squat, 360 bench, 485 deadlift. 315 incline bench. peaked at 195# at about 8%.
surgery... 2 ventral hernias, 2 umbilical hernias that i'd had for years and years and years. they looked terrible when being lean. barely noticed them when covered in fat.
surgery #2 for ventral herinias (when they say take 6 weeks off, it's best to listen, not get back in the gym on week2 :/ )
laid off, new job.. back in the gym again now. finally have found my niche in physique training.
i'll be 43 in February, 200# 8% was my summer.
just starting winter bulk. looking to maybe step on stage the end of 2017. gotta get these hernias tucked away again. going with a micro incision and net this time instead of old school big cut and stitching.
