Whats up T-Nation, I've been reading articles on this site for a few months and finally decided to make an account.

I've been lifting seriously for about 6 months and have changed my diet about 2 months ago.
Im 20, 5'10" and 195 lbs.
Box Squat:425
Front Squat:285
Zercher Squat:245
Deadlift:405
Bench:225
OHP:145
Dips:BW+50
Pullups:BW+50

what is the level thing?

how many Biotest products you buy, Level 1= you have made a purchase, Level 2= top 10,000 custormers or something up to Level 5=top 100 or whatever

Hello,

I'm new to T-Nation and I just started my diet today and I must admit (like all who were beginners)... This is a very DIFFICULT diet! I am a foodie that loves to cook gourmet and eat and am missing the texture of food. I am counting the days until my first H.S.M., this Thursday. Any ideas on how to stay focus and not stray?

Hello T-Nation, I have been reading some good information from your forums and decided to join. I am glad I found a place with real answers. Bout to start up my training after 2 years of being off.

Hello.

Starting lifting again in October after about 8.5 years off except for two 3 month periods. I hope to keep it up this time. It really helps when they gym is less that 100 yards from your work, and you have a workout partner.

Anyways I've continued to make great progress every week on every lift except curls since I started in Oct. I just benched 330lb yesterday, and may have been able to do ~10 more after not being able to bench 225 in Oct.

I really want to gain about 200lbs on my squat this year which I think is very doable since I haven't really trained it that hard. I also want to hit 400 on the bench and 135 curl.

Hey folks! returning T-Nation member(cant remeber old acc name), been a lurker for the past couple years. Good to be here!

Do I count as a lurker if I'm been reading T-Nation articles for a while but never really looking at the forum until this week? Whatever, I'm here, and I'm up for it now.

I'm 46, 6'5, 235 lbs, never been really into sports but used to lift at home as a teenager in what I now realise was a half-assed, unstructured way. Always been fairly strong, but that's nothing to shout about, as I made no contribution to that strength myself, just happy moving stuff around for friends who needed it.

Not particularly proud of my stats, except that I used to weigh a helluva sight more than I do now. Found the Nation about 18 months ago, read up on diet, applied it and shed about three and a half stone of lard, which translated to six inches off my waist. Joined a gym 12 months ago, but got instantly banned from the weights area due to borderline hypertension. Got that sorted by the quack, although I'm on pills for the rest of my life :( Started lifting August 09, and am making happy progress. Using 5/3/1 and carb cycling, eating clean and enjoying watching the PR's rack up.

hi im new on here and i was wondering how do u order the stuff you need um private message me with ansers please

Hey everyone, also would like to Thank the creater of the site for making something awesome such as this. I am new to the body building world, I am in the east coast of canada, I was 300 pounds, ( trying to post some before and after pics) I work out weekends and one day a week, is all I can do for now because my work schedule does not allow me to get any more out. I am wondering will this help or should I work out more. Perhaps buy a home gym? I am now 245-55, I try not to wieght myself much as it is not to lose much wieght I know I will gain with muscle lose the fat. Again ty all. and Hope to make some new freinds.

Naturally, we all have to get our first post out of the way... just to get it off your chest, kind of like a barbell on the benchpress. The most dangerous editors in the world have offered up a goldmine of valuable information; anyone new to the site or forums, go check out the veritable library of information that these guys have provided for anyone to read. The relentless and intelligent pursuit of muscle is accompanied by lessons about manhood, sex, nutrition, and life in general. If you've got half a brain, you'll take advantage of this. I sure have.

Hi there....on my first week of V-Diet...so far so good. Question about workouts...what if your busy but want to get your three exercises in...can you go back-to-back? I worked out today and would like to tomorrow followed by Saturday or Sunday. Any serious concerns with doing this or are you just exhausting your muscles?

T-Muscle and T-Nation... Nothin like it out there. I've been lurkin for 4 or 5 months now and it might as well be my homepage. Incredibly useful information, things I end up applying on a daily basis in the gym, as well as plenty of people with lots of experience under the barbell looking to help and provide perspective.
