vicmagary Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Greetings to all at Nerd Fitness! I'm very excited to be participating in the forum. I have some experience as a trainer and fitness enthusiast, but this last year I truly fell off of the path. Business and personal losses put me in a state of mind where my once notorious discipline and training ethic melted away. But I am determined to bounce back in 2011 and will be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40 in November. That's right, 40. From the quick scan I've done of the posts, I'm pretty sure I'm one of the oldest (THE oldest?) members of the forum. Old man jokes and references are welcome and encouraged. First up for me is a 12 week mass gaining program that I will be following beginning Monday January 3, 2011. I'll be following a Monday, Wednesday, Friday training split of total body workouts using a combination of bodyweight and dumbbell exercises. Oh, and I'll be eating like crazy. I'll be starting a thread in the training journal area so everyone's support along the way is most appreciated. Many thanks to Steve and everyone who participates in the forums for creating such a supportive community. Take care, Vic Quote Link to comment
CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Welcome, Vic. I don't think you are the oldest, as we have a wide range (although there are a lot of those young whippersnappers around here -- I turn 40 next summer). Quote Link to comment
Oogiem Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm pretty sure I'm one of the oldest (THE oldest?) members of the forum. Welcome, and not the oldest but I refuse to indicate precisely how many years older I am, lets just say that it's in the double digits shall we? ;-) But I too want to try to get in better shape.

Looking forward to following your training journal and stealing some of your tips.-Steve Quote Rebel Leader. I post videos of my dog on Instagram, and sometimes even share fitness wisdom. SOMETIMES.

prefect42 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Welcome Vic. If you're asking for jokes, I may not be able to resist, but know that I'm only making them because you told us to. Ditto for me on the mass gaining. I have been doing that for the past two months and told myself I might cut back starting January, but nah: the winter is the perfect time to do nothing but GET BIGGER! Excited to see how it works out for you. Quote "Did you go to the gym when you were alive?" "I died in 1938. For exercise, we drank sloe gin and smoked Lucky Strikes." - Dead Like Me Link to comment
