hey everybody. my name is alan and im from cork, ireland. i am 24 years old and ive been working out for about 3 years now. i started off just doing mostly cardio and small weights just to tone. within the past 12/18 months ive started lifting heavier with the intention of getting bigger. 2 years ago i weighed about 150lbs because of all the cardio i was doing. i got fed up so i decided id workout with the intention to bulk up and put on good muscle weight. i now weight 210lbs and am pretty fit. i play american football in the iafl (irish american football league) so as well as getting bigger i also consentrated on keeping my speed and quickness. so far ive been successful.
ive been using various types of regular protein shakes over the past 3 years, my most recent is Prolab Pure Whey protein. its pretty good value and it seems to do the job. but after seeing the results Cell Tech had on one of my buddies in only a month or so i decided that im gonna give it a try. he put on about 15 lbs of muscle.
just wondering if anybody on here has tried Cell Tech and what do they think of it?

Greetings,
I am 28 and live in Chicago, but originaly from Serbia. I was looking for something such as this forum and I finally found it! First of all I would go searching for some quality training programs & tips. I was completely into body building back in Serbia, but since I moved here (USA) the things just got out of my hands and now I'm dissapointed with what I've done to my body for short period of time. To make this story short I'm 5'10" with over 217 pounds and that really makes me sick so I DECIDED TO CHANGE THAT R I G H T N O W !!! I'm looking forward to grab some good advice and I'm sure I ended up at the right place!
King regards to yall!!!
Dusan, Chicago

...lets try this again...
i am 30 from Maryland.. i have only been working out about 4 years. I am coming off a back injury, so i am trying to ease back into working out.. my body fat is a lot higher than i want it to be, but i think that comes from my back problems not allowing me to work out like i use to.. but i am coming along slowly.. i am 5'8" about 220lbs.. looking for some good tips, not any miracle programs.. i think hard, heavy lifting is key, but proper rest is the real muscle builder.. anything else you want to know, just ask..

Introductions are always the hardest so here I go.
I'm 24 and married with no kids; but working on it. I have always been a fan of bodybuilding.
I've always been in awe of these guys who are just in tremendous shape, but never had the discipline to keep at it for more than a year. I've always been an average size guy, not to skinny but always wanted to have a nice chest and shoulders with a tight midsection. On October 11, 2003 I started the "Abs Diet" to drop some of that midsection body fat and started lifting again and alot of cardio running and biking.
I've tried to set some goals I'm 5'11" at about 150lbs. I'd like to max out at about 180-200lbs on bench and gain about 15lbs of muscle everywhere. Where gonna start small and hopefully through good advise, encouragment, and self discipline I can achieve my goals.

Wow, interesting posts on this forum! How do I start a new thread? It must tell me somewhere but I can't find it
To introduce myself, I am Russell The Muscle, male, age 25, 5'8", 137 lbs, 12.8% bf, stats 38/39:29:33.5. I am aiming for all-round development, at the moment 'bulking up' for the winter but only tending to gain approx. 1 lb per month (around .75 lb muscle to .25 lb fat). Would like to gain approx. 4 lbs per month at a similar ratio, if possible. Eventual goal is to weigh 170-180 lbs, 7-8% bf, gain some size on chest and other muscles if possible but maintain small waist (even reduce!).

Hey I'm from Auckland, New Zealand and would like to introduce myself. I love reading Discuss Bodybuilding so much even though I am not sure that is what I am doing. As I understand it from my personal trainer, I'm still in the "lose body fat" stage and will be for another six months. So that is my focus.
I am 46 years old, have been working out for four months now. I was an active sportswoman all through my teens and twenties but have been inactive for 10 years or so having three babies.
Started 89kg and 39% body fat
At beg of Nov 73.5kg and 29% body fat
My 3 month goal is to weigh 65kg with 24 % body by 1 Feb 05 and to begin competing in squash again (so I'm training 2-3 times a week on the squash court too).
I train 5 days a week at my gym. Three times with my personal trainer (twice doing weights/cardio and once boxing fitness with my PT and my hubby) and I train twice on my own.
I follow a nutrition programme set by my PT which is basically med carb, med protein, low fat and all my carbs are low GI. I have just finished a full read and study of Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was through a DB reference that I found that ebook.
Umm I don't know what else to say except that I enjoy all the posts and although I feel a bit intimidated posting here because I am not a bodybuilder (yet !!) and I can't seem to find many women here either but it feels a good place for me to be.
Thanks SND
However

hey what's up?  <---super cool smiley btw
O, ya, about me. My name is David but the guys in my fraternity just call me Id because only my mom and my ex call me Dave haha. I'm 20 years old and a full-time college student. I played soccer all my life at top levels and currently am an assitant coach for a club and a high school team (train goalkeepers mostly). I'm starting to get pretty serious into lifting since my dad told me he had high blood pressure and was urged to start going to a gym regularly. This kinda got me going so that when I go home for xmas and summer and what not he and I could join/hit the gym together. I have a full gym at my apartment complex as well as some multimillion dollar exercise center here at the U of South Carolina. I'm looking to build more of my upper body and abs section. My legs are so huge from soccer that until i started to put on those college pounds I must have looked ridiculous with huge thighs and calves and a skinny upper body. Currently I'm 6"1 around 190-200...i dunno i don't really have a scale handy. Anyways, good story...there's my 2 minutes. Take care

Thanks mda for the welcome.
I am making DB a daily stop in my net routine so I can keep in touch and get new information. Hubby has just bought Fit For Life for us to read as well. The more information the better however I guess in the end my programme is going to be individual and have the "flavour" that my personal trainer ascribes to. He's a good guy with lots of experience. I trust him 110% to get me to my goals as long as I put the footwork in.
I am also looking at police recruiting requirements at the moment. One for women is they must be able to do 20 press-ups (kind of arms wide, down to 90 degrees type of press ups). Currently I can only do one !! so this is a bit daunting. I read that doing press ups is only good for getting better at press ups and not much else. At the moment I am just doing the downard movement, one set of 10, slowly, daily, 7 days a week. I guess I can't see this getting me to the 20 mark very quickly.
Police requirements also demand an 80kg grip strength for women (40 each hand) and I tested at just under 30kg each hand so I've got a way to go there. I am not sure how to train for this one although no doubt PT has a plan LOL !!
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks Jill

thanks mda I've got a 10 press up goal set for 1 Feb 05 already and I have seen some progress (couldn't even do the one four weeks ago LOL). I am pretty focused about what I do in the gym every time because I do exactly what PT tells me too. I like the clear cut advice here - set some goals, go workout, adjust things to get the results you want. Fantastic and that is quite simple (but not always easy).
I'll talk to PT about the grip on the weights, the weight on the dumbbells has just started to increase weekly and is moving to the point of what I call heavy for me (11kg each side chest press, I dont' know if I've got the right terms here) and a focus on the grip would help me to be steadier I presume as well.
Thanks, quick reply, is it not night time over there ?? Anyways bye Jill

My name is Lorenzo, im 17, and im new to your forum. i've never really tried bodybuilding and since my friend told me about it ive gotten really interested. im 6'2" and about 195lb's. my max on bench is around 180lb's. im really not to worried about my max i just want more definition and mass. ive never really been skinny so for the past 6 months ive only been eating one meal a day. the thing i dont understand is even after cutting back on food im still retaining alot of fat on my lower abs and chest. from what ive read my diet is causing that. and its not like im not physical, i work on a tree farm and im constantly moving around. i just ordered some methl-1 test stacked with 1testosterone and plan on taking that with an extreme work out routine. am i doing the right thing? should i take multi vitamins? should i eat more? should i not take the methl? my buddy takes creatine and it worked wonders for him, should i take that? will someone please help me?
