About Me

 

Hello everyone. I've been following the site for the longest time and have posted very minimally in the forums up until now. Let me start by talking a little bit about myself. I discovered my love for weight lifting back in February of 2012 and jumped from program to program. At first, I had no idea what I was doing or even where to being, so I'm choosing Starting Strength as my first weight training program. I want to establish a baseline for myself so after I finish with SS, I will have an idea of where I am strength-wise and will be able to carry what I've learned and how far I've pushed myself into other programs in the future.
