May as well stop lurking...see you in the Warrior guild hall


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I've been reading NF for about a year now. And after getting diverticulitis and hypertension in my mid-30s, I knew that I had to make a change. I started hitting the gym in earnest about 7 months ago, starting with Steve's Barbell Battalion, and then shifting to SL5x5. I used to think that my aspiration was to be a Ranger, but my eyes have been opened to the way of the iron. At 6'2" and 290 when I started, doing back squats for the first time with just the bar (!) had me barely able to walk normally for days. 6 months later (after a few setbacks due to bad form that I've worked out since), I'm squatting 210 5x5, and loving getting under the bar 3 times a week. Warrior's guild it is for me. Looks like the next challenge is coming up shortly, so I'll dive in then.
