What's up guys! The Future is here! Played college football, entered the NFL draft... Despite promises from teams and agents I never got picked up, then I went to the AFL ...got released. I use these temporary failures as fuel to my bodybuilding fire daily! I train in the shirts the teams sent to and stare in the mirror with pure rage! "I'll show them"(mike Katz voice from pumping Iron)!! Now I'm 270 12 weeks out from my first show ever! I train strictly business, my training partner and I are like a new age Dorian and Leroy with our intensity! Once you realize that failure is temporary and for every failure you will plant a seed of success, then you will be successful... Glad to be here Men, it's an honor.
Hey guys and thanks J-dawg for the warm welcome. My name is Ryan i'm from Winnipeg, Canada. Been lifting 14 years but only seriously for about 2. The road has been quite the rollercoaster and i am looking to change that.
This is where it begins...
Thanks,I went to Central Connecticut State University! When I did competitive powerlifting in High school and some in college I always watched your bench vids!! I set my university's bench record at 565lbs, I still hold the title haha, of course you can do that in your sleep! Lol
Well I am known but I've been gone lol, Now I'm back from the Dead a lot more balanced and ready to Rock and Roll. We are starting the North Phx ABC up at Metroflex Phx and I Welcome any of My Animal Brothers and Sisters to stop by the thread and stay updated on this ABC's progress and Growth. if Your in near or coming by Phx shoot me a Message and come out to Metroflex and throw some Iron with me and The Group
Anyway things are starting up out here, but I am hoping the Legion welcomes me back, I know I have fences to mend and the way to do that is just keeping my nose to the grind stone and earning the Legions Respect again. Just hope no one looks down on the New ABC because of my past tempermental actions as we are putting together a great group of men and Women out here! Well I have to get to the Gym so Peace everyone "Personally I am happy and Glad to be back"

Powerliftin? Ur gonna fit in real well here. Coupla members here call themselves powerlifters...
I am Tommy. I have been training seriously for about three months now. So, I am a fairly new trainee. I use to be heavy into playing Rugby but, due to a motorcycle accident - I am no longer able to play it. Back then, I was all cardio and endurance. Being only 22 and not being able to play your favorite sport is rough. I have now discovered lifting and have replaced my passion for Rugby with lifting. After my accident, I got fat. It doesn't help that I work in purchasing and spend most of my day at a desk. Lifting is turning that around for me though. Everyday, I am better than the day before. I don't mind that it will take years for me to reach my goals. Life is a journey, and its about the the experinces you gain rather than the destination.
Hey everybody, I am Marcos from Florida. I work in an office all day. I always been in shape in the past but never had a muscle body. I been in this office for about 12 years now and gain a alot of weight. I am 5'6 (short) 42 years old. My biggest weight was 230lbs two years ago and I realized that I needed to do something about it. I am 190lbs now working out hard 5 days a week. I wanted to join this group so I can get advice on how to turn my body into muscle. I need all the help I can get. Thank you.

Welcome to the group. I know how you feel - I work in purchasing. Cubicle city!

Hey All,
My name is Rey and I'm an Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering student at Oklahoma State. I love to lift and enjoy the challenge of maintaining a structured lifestyle and keeping up with school. For most of my younger ages I was a fat ass, never passing up the opportunity to eat some good food. My family has a history with health issues so I had always been told to watch what I eat. It soon came to me complaining like a bitch about my weight doesn't do JACK, and after I turned 16 I grew a pair and I decided to actually freaking do something about it. It started off rough, but after I reevaluated what should be done and how I should do it, I fell in love. Ever since I've been hooked, and I've been in love with every minute of it. I still have a way to go, but I know that I'm in far better standing than several years ago. After reading through all these posts I want to thank you guys your acceptance and hospitality, and most of all for being fucking badasses.
Hello everyone. Name is Sebastian and I'm from the wonderful Garden State. 25 year old college student who also works full time. Been working out for about 3 years now but just recently decided to take lifting on as a serious hobby. Came across the animal forum and loved the brotherhood aspect it harbors. I am looking forward to the next ABC in jersey and get to meet alot of you fellas. Can't lie it is kinda intimidating because of the experience alot of you have but I feel that I need to be around those who can guide me towards the goals I'd like to reach. I can only see myself progress from here on out.
Hi yall my name is bond. I am 27 and 215 and have a blank canvus to work with. I just got into bodybuilding about 6 months ago. I have been lifting for about 10 years for football and while i was in the marines. But i am a cop now and got bored with the same old stuff so i stepped up to the table and annied up. I wanna pay my dues and build something new out of myself. I have found the older i get the more i realize how little i know. So i love this site because i can use all the help i can get. Side note just read wheels of steal and cant wait to get in the gym again! Thank yall for everything yall do here at the site!
