Back on the weightlifting path after two years!


Recommended Posts

Just a small woot, but today marks my second week of gym sessions after a two year hiatus (lack of funds!)- last summer I lost over 3 stone without a gym membership and as a result, lost as much muscle as I did fat. I looked exactly the same at 14 stone as I did at 17.5, I just took up less space!

It feels great to be back doing what I love, and of course adding 30KG to my deadlift in the space of a week feels glorious, gotta love beginner gains/muscle memory.

Cheers to everyone on here for keeping me motivated with your success stories, your all awesome lads and lasses,

Matt

That's not a small Woot! my friend, that is the Start of Awesome! Way to go

You done "before" pics to help keep you motivated yet? You know us, we'll want to see the proof when you're 16 stone of Solid Muscle!

Ps. Weights in stones? Fellow Brit?

Thanks for the kind words!

And yeah, absolutely, I have a good few before pics, from both weightloss and gym, they'll probably be worth uploading in 6 months or so (with any luck).

And yeah, it's good to see another Brit on here! We seem few and far between. Stratford upon Avon based, yourself?

Opposite end of the country, Fort William, Scotland. West coast... ie the best bit ;)

There's a thread for us Brits in The Pub, think it's called "Come on you Brits, make yourselves known". Lots of us in there :D
