King_mob Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hey there folks, new recruit here, also from the UK. Decided about three months ago to take control and responsibility for areas of my life i wasn't happy with - started out on Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" and am now 100% converted to the power of compound lifts and heavy barbell training. Found it's helped my health and confidence immeasurably, and it's bloody good fun too. Turn's out im an easy-gainer (fat basically) so starting to take this type of training seriously has been a transformation for me in more ways than one. I want to try to get into powerlifting at some point, obviously i want to get my numbers respectably first and i need to find an organisation local to me (Bristol UK) that does it raw (anyone else find the squat suit and such slightly redundant inventions?) but that's how interested i've become in my new found hobby. In fact, hobby is a terrible qualifier for what i'm now doing, it's a way of life. Anyway, your all a bunch of complete strangers so that's enough personal exposition for the time being.

King_mob Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Oh yeah, and for those interested in non-fitness general nerdism - work as a Linux engineer, read HP Lovecraft, listen to Hardcore punk, enjoy Guinness, Ingar Bergman and comic books.

Cafeina Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's true about sharing with strangers... can't speak for everybody else, but I'm as strange as they come. Good luck and welcome! Quote Link to comment
