Powerlifting DM

[TheBiggerBen]

I am Ben. I like dorky things and awesomeness. Instead of rehashing everything, I'll just post my "About Me".

I am a longtime gamer (D&D, AD&D2, White Wolf back in the day, Star Wars d10, D&D3.5, D&D4e), former paratrooper (All the Way!), husband, father of four, ardent Catholic and budding powerlifter. I work with kids with disabilities at a residential school and my son rocks the whole severe autism thing in a mostly adorable way. I lifted heavy while in the Army: I was 5,11", 225lbs, squatting 605lbs, with a 52" chest, 17" neck and calves bigger than most people's thighs. But after I left the Army, I stopped working out. Five years out, I now strengthout and I'm tearing through my goals. My current unofficial totals (taken from my most recent week of 1RMs) is 1000lbs. My goal is 1650lbs and I feel like I'm well on my way. TheBiggerBen is also a blog, but you can find that on your own, if you wish.

Colour me green, 1k total was my first goal with weightlifting once I was a few months in. Good work!

1k kilos or 1k pounds?  I normally wouldn't ask, but you spelled "color" like a speaker of the Queen's English.

Haha pounds of course. I'm a long way off being hardcore enough for my lifts to sound impressive in kilos. Also well spotted, I'm Australian.
