Bob's Place
Found this site through Gman. I've been following his progress for a long time. I'm really liking the attitude on this site. Thought I would join in and hope to meet more online friends and talk BB.
I am 51. Started lifting at 20 years old. Got into a couple small contests. Got married at 26 and raised a family of four kids. In 2004 I got back into it. By 2006 I had some health issues to deal with. Stopped in 2007. Back at it again for the past 6 weeks.
I was a skinny fat type kid right up until I started training. I starting working with a guy that was into lifting. Started with him at the local YMCA. Through him I met a lot of guys that trained hard and competed. I learned a lot through them. Ended up joining a more hard core gym. The Steel Pier. Always liked that name.
I was 170#'s in high school at 5'11". After 4 years of training I was in the 200#'s with around the same bodyfat. Decided the only way I would get cut is to get on stage. Did it two years in a row. First show I was 173 and a year later 183. Not big but big for me! I got 2nd and 3rd place trophies.
Trying to get things current now. Tired of saying I used to do this and used to do that! Everything is still clear 25 years later! Can't remember one minute to the next though. I would love to get in great shape again and shock my kids.
Going to try to make this my year! I am heavier than ever now at 235. Lots of fat even though I carry it fairly well with clothes on, haha. That's the intro. To follow will be diet, training, excuses, PR's, and probably off topic stuff too.

I started back this time with mainly compound lifts. Very slowly! I had a rough start. Very shaky and weak after a few sets. My legs are terrible. I have always gotten leg cramps but now they are worse. It is just a matter of getting them accustomed to lifting again. It's been 6 weeks and I am finally getting a little better.
Only doing one major lift a workout still. Sometimes I throw in some db curls. I am finding my lifts are increasing faster than ever since I am not burning myself out with a big split routine. I will change after I plateau.

Maybe the button did work. I did forget. Pictures too yeah. With clothes now. I am too fat! I'll show clothed and old one's.
Visitors already. This is great! I am a slow typer and still entering things. The multi quote button didn't work. I think I forgot how to use it anyway. Thanks for stopping in. I hope it continues.
