Tola Seng Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hey guys, I'm loving the camaraderie here. Also loving the blog posts by Steve.I've been into fitness for most of my adult life. I worked as a pharmacist for a while, but then took a break because I wanted to find a better way to help people, not just mindlessly take "magic pills." Anyways, it's lead me here. As far as my training goals, I'm currently looking to build up strength to be able to do cool body weight stuff like V-Ups, Flags, Handstand pushups, and my ultimate - the Planche.I'll also offer as much advice, support and encouragement as I can, as I've been able to keep my body fat close to or under 10% for quite a while now without much effort at all, just simple, practical principles.Nice to meet you all. Look forward to the conversations. Latest: How to Get a Beach Bod in Only 15 Minutes a Day http://fitforlifepledge.com Link to comment

Guest Snake McClain Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well Mr. ABS welcome aboard. I have a feeling you'll like it here just fine. Glad to have another new face and I can't wait to see what you have to teach us. Link to comment
Tola Seng Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks for the welcome Snake McClain, so far the reception has been great. I'm liking it here already. Look forward to learning and assisting where I can....but I doubt I have anything "new" to teach. From what I've seen, most of the diet/training principles are the same. It's just that sometimes we tend to make things "harder" than they really are. I like to keep things simple, easy and practical.But what's up with all the cool names here on this forum? I'm thinking I shouldn't have used my real name Latest: How to Get a Beach Bod in Only 15 Minutes a Day http://fitforlifepledge.com Link to comment
