Hello

[DEXX]

Gee, where to start!?...I have too much to say.
I'm kind of curious as to the median age on this site and if it is right for me to be here. I'm almost 37yrs old and see alot of younger dudes here...not that I'm predjudiced. I don't think that I fit in anywhere on the web...people are either hardcore, hardcore and juicing , or just lifting 10# dumbells and doing cardio. My goals are to be healthy, look good , and get stronger. I came back to weightlifting after years of smoking and eating junk food. ..which contributed to me having back problems and 2 herniated discs. One year ago I started doing exercises to strengthen my core muscles and visited a chiro regular. I also quit smoking and put together a home gym.
Well I've bored you enough for now.

Stats. 37yrs in June
5'10"
200# ...bodyfat? I have a 2pack and my obliques show well.
Bench Press @240# ...I struggled with 150 when I started!
Squats: can't do them..bummer
Deadlift:...nope, another no no.

Thanks everyone!
Xenos> I guess hardcore was a bad word for me to choose. What I meant was people who are reallly strict with diet and training, and being "over the top" in everything they do. I have alot of respect for all the people I lumped into those categories, but I am just a regular joe who eats and trains like a regular joe. Did I make any more sense this time around? ...hope so.

Welcome to ABC, Dexx !!!! Sorry to hear that you have a problem with being so old !!!! I'll be 49 this summer and will always be grateful that I found and chose ABC to become educated on the correct way to improve my way of life...I have always been atheletically inclined and have worked out for years but with limited results...the past year since frequenting this site has resulted in gains, both physically and mentally, that I would have never achieved on my own...Read the articles and apply the methodology and you too, will like the results...Enjoy !!!!
