Cohen Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hey there fit nerdy type people, been reading here all week and it seems like an awesome, friendly place to hang out. I haven't joined a fitness forum before, most seem to be juice filled bro fests, so it's nice to finally find a place where the cool people hang out. Bit of history... I grew up in the English countryside, and on the fitness side, spent lots of years hiking and trekking... including solo trekking the laugevegur in Iceland.I left UK and travelled for a few years alone, got unfit, smoking and partying too much. My weight dropped to 65kg and I was starting to look terrible. A few years ago I settled in Asia and started fixing my health again, stopped smoking, sorted out my diet (mostly healthy) and began slowly getting back in shape. I messed around doing different bodyweight exercises, and using home made sandsacks for lifiting, then moved onto dumbbell exercises. Steadily got my weight up to 85kg which is a bit over where I want to be (probably 15-18% fat, I can faintly see my abs) I work out at home in my garage, simple setup with dumbbells, a space for farmers walks, and a new edition this week, a pullup bar. My current goal is to get stronger at my favourite exercises:DB Bench - Currently 27.5kg + 2kg bar (total 59kg) for 6repsDB Row - Currently 32.5kg + bar for 8repsGoblet Squats - Currently 32.5kg + bar for 8repsFarmers Walks - I use dumbbells - 59kg for 6 lengths of my 9m double garage.Pullups - Bodyweight for 8 reps. and slowy drop my body fat down a bit more.
