My numbers:
Squat: 50kg
Bench press: 50kg
Chinups: 5-4-4

Time for an update!

new stats now:

Squat: 85kg
Bench press: 60kg
DL: 105kg
Press: 42.50 kg
clean: 50 kg

I've been missing quite a few trainings in December and January, though on avarage i still managed to go 2 times a week. I have a hard time increasing the weight of the bench press, it goes really slow but i seem to be able to increase the others every training.

In general I'm really satisfied with the results, I feel much stronger. Also I stopped caring about food / fat percentage. I just try to get a decent amount of calories throughout the day with some protein in it and still avoid exessive fastfood but not religiously like i did 3 months ago.

I've never bumped a year-old thread before- I hope this is acceptable :X

Today I begin my own journey in to all of this. Been overweight for a while now for no good reason, and also some say that exercise aids in depression (if anything, self esteem.) People say that I don't look too overweight, but I'm shaped like a football lineman without the muscle.

Ordered a ~$600 elliptical to get started, because running right now becomes painful after only ~3 minutes. Here's hoping that it doesn't turn in to a clothes hanger. Focusing on cardio and healthy eating just to drop a lot of weight- I may branch in to other things if things go well.

Age: 22 Height: 5'11"
Current Weight: 280 lb
Goal Weight: 220 lb, maybe lower
Starting Date: January 30th, 2011
Goal Date: None. Going to run at least an hour a day, start eating better and see how it goes.

Maybe before/after pictures later, if I become a success story.

2 sites www.bodybuilding.com, www.simplyshredded.com have heaps of articles on nutrition/training to bulk up or slim down. The most important thing is constancy, even if you stray from your goals... soldiering on is way betting then quitting all together

Heres the problem i have with Bodybuilding.com. Almost all their products are backed by / used by people who are KNOWN to use steriods (not that i blame them, you need steriods to compete in bodybuilding theres just no way around that) the problem is. You don't know those products / if that information is accurate.

FOR EXAMPLE
The keto diet is one of the fastest ways to lose weight.
What it does is put your body in a position to only burn FAT and not Carbs becuase you cut your Carb intake to 0.
What you don't know is this is how a lot of bodybuilders end up dying. They cut about 15 to 30 pounds of fat in 2 months and combine that with all the cardio and weight lifting they do, its bad for your heart and it leads to a heart attack. People don't know that and think bodybuilders die because of all their steriods (which could also be true given who it is)

Also, all of MuscleTech's products SUCK and are 80% sugar. Their NitroTech has 80% sugar and 20% creatine and you pay $50 for it. But people buy it because it is backed by Jay Cutler (who actually admitted to being on Steriods which is why i'm a fan of his) but i hate MuscleTech.
