I am coming off about an 9-10 month layoff from mid '09 to about mid 2010 due to surgery, health issues and injury. Believe it or not it was all three and none of them were related. If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

I currently train using a 3 day a week heavy/light/medium protocol. My current goal is to regain some strength and put some muscle back on in the process.

I am a long time lurker and have always been impressed with the information on this site.

Its about ime you stopped lurking and signed up.. glad to have you abord and hope the board and community is helpful... NT

Beginner pl-er here.

Been squatting and deadlifting since 09, but not consistently, so like 2 months on, 3 months off due to baseball, studies, whatever.

Really started working hard in sept 2010 with illini powerlifting, gained almost 20lbs of muscle.

youtube channel is altrocksnp.

Currently trying to gain as much weight as possible. Feeding frenzy 3 times a day.

Welcome to MAB!

Welcome altrocksnp. You only eat three times a day to gain weight or am I misunderstanding you?

Hi,

Cliff here, posting from leafy Wiltshire in England. I like the positive vibe on Muscle and Brawn and I might start a log on here. I already post on Sugdenbarbell.co.uk (where foul language and unrelenting derision are the order of the day). I like US sites: converting everything from kilos into pounds automatically makes me feel 2.2059 times stronger.

I did general weight-training/bodybuilding for years (I'm coming up to 49), but swapped over to powerlifting 2-3 years ago. My best lifts are:

Deadlift 500 X 5 or 563 X 1
Squat 400 X 8 or 500 X 1 (see vid)
Bench Press 308 X 8 or 365 X 1
Strict Press 154 X 14 or 230 X 1
Push Press 265 X 1

My bodyweight was 220 ish for most of these.

I'm currently a way off these PBs, but getting back into training now.

Welcome to the forum. Your PRs are real close to mine, but you have me beat on bodyweight

Good to see another 40+ lifter join our ranks. You'll get nothing but encouragement here.

Looking forward to seeing you hit your goals and then some.
