CarbonCopy Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi all!Been reading the website for a while and I've got a few questions to ask so I thought why not ask here?! I'm about 5'11, 174 pounds and been weight lifting for about 9 months now. Although only since abit before christmas I've been taking it abit more seriously, eating mostly paleo and keeping my gym routine going.I am 21, in my 2nd year of university in England. I've been going to the gym 5 times a week since about christmas, I play american football for my university team and am just about to enter exam period here! After going to the gym right now, I'm going to post over in the Paleo forum so keep a look out for that!Nice to meet you all Quote Link to comment

AKLulu Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Welcome, CC! Sounds like you've got a really great start on your lifting and eating Is American football (a.k.a. hand egg) very popular over there?

Rosie Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 hi and Welcome!AKLulu,theres some unis here that play american football here but I think its more common to find Rugby being played (aka egg chasing) Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Twitter Blog Attributes: Strength (STR): 3 Dexterity (DEX): 1 Stamina (STA): 4 Constitution (CON): 2 Wisdom (WIS): 3 Charisma (CHA): 2 Link to comment
AKLulu Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Haha Rugby's so much cooler anyways, I'm glad. Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment
CarbonCopy Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Haha yeah, the highest league of American Football here in England is still played in fields and very rarely in an actual stadium. So not very big but theres still a load of teams about at least. Glad you like Rugby though! Quote Link to comment

katscratch Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Welcome CarbonCopy!!! AKLulu, "hand egg" is too funny! When my kiddo was young he once saw a group of people playing and cried out "I want to play egg ball!!!" ....I've since discovered that for most of my acquaintances in Minnesota, not having any interest in football or hockey is tantamount to beating my child haha Quote Link to comment
AKLulu Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 @Kat, I hear ya! I have known many people that can't believe that I didn't grow up on "football." Small town Alaska is way more likely to be watching basketball (not to be confused with hoop ball)... and if you don't like basketball there, you get about the same reaction as not liking hand egg in Minnesota Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment
jrhunter Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Wait, what? They have "American Football" teams in the UK? This is the first I've heard that. My UK friends just always made fun of the game. Well, welcome aboard and good luck with your goals!
