Thread: New to the site

Been lurking for a while....so i thought I'd join!

My name is Mike, 38 years old, 5'7, 170 lbs....eye test of about 13-14%bf. Married with 2 little ones.

Met my wife while training 13 years ago. After injuring my back in 2002, I've avoided even driving by a gym. Now I am 38 years old with a 1 year old boy and a 4 year old girl..... I don't want to be the old dad that can't even toss the ball.

When my wife and I met, I was a shade under 200 lbs and just under 10% bf. At my height, I looked like a little spark plug....fast forward 9 years and I lost 15 lbs and gained 4 inches in my waist. (This isn't good when your wife is smoking hot and still trains 4 days a week)

So for the past 4 months, I have been back at it. Actually lost a ton of weight in the beginning. Went from 182 and 21% bf down to where I am now.

Trying now to put the right kind of weight back on.

I used gear in the past to get to where I was....my goals now at my age and my height are to gain a sold 12 -15 lbs and keep my bf in the 10% range.

Great to be here and hope to learn a few things from everyone.
