TurtIe Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi everyone! I thought I would just drop in with a couple of introductory paragraphs.I'm Nathan, from southern NSW in Australia. I live in a small town and work in a teeny tiny gym. I love sports, basketball, soccer, tennis, squash, golf, chess- you name it. If I'm not in the gym, playing some type of sport or trying to cook up something [somewhat] healthy for my [understandably] skeptical wife, I'll be parked on my trusty chair (lovingly named 'Chair') playing Halo or indulging in Pokemon on my slowly deteriorating Gameboy Color (it's green).Besides that, I enjoy juggling, scrabble and the odd foray into herb-gardening.It's a pleasure to be here and I'm excited to get to know this awesome community!

Pat G Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hmm i'll pick you Ratatta. South coast NSW? What sort of training do you do? "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
TurtIe Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Pokemon fans on a fitness forum! This place rocks!As far as training goes, I guess I do a mix of stuff. Compound movement strength training (the big lifts), bodyweight stuff, sprints and plyometrics with the odd long run or bicycle ride. Add regular foam rolling and balance training most mornings to that too. I play a lot of different sports so I try to train in a way that keeps me ready for anything. I also work in a small town gym that is generally pretty quiet so I have access to time/equipment/space for the most part of the week.EDIT: Oh and inland NSW, at least 6hrs drive from the ocean =( "No-one tells a T-Rex when to go to sleep".- Jim Wendler Link to comment
