Hello, folks

[Max]

Hey guys,

I've been browsing the site for a while and thought I may as well register. There really is a lot of useful stuff here and I've already learnt heaps!

I'm currently fifteen, male, from Blenheim. I started lifting recently in the school weights room (haha!) and found it really enjoyable. I now go there every school lunch hour with a few of my similarly-inclined mates. Powerlifting appeals to me more than other kinds of weight training.

When I'm not lifting or learning, I'm jamming (vocals and bass in mostly Death metal/Black metal style) or hunting (sometimes just shooting things). I'm sometimes an overachiever, but lazy. Lifting has helped somewhat with that, especially sleeping. Please ignore the fact that I'm posting this at 12:40am.

I came across this site on a random google search for lifting beginners. Fate, maybe?

Anyway, I'm glad to be here. I plan to utilise all of your vast wisdom as much as possible.

Cheers,

Max

Hi Max, welcome to the forum

[Max]

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for the warm welcome. It's appreciated.

Welcome abord Max post your stats up meaning your diet etc

Firstly, I don't have a strict diet. That is something I need to work on and certainly need some advice with. I try to eat a lot of eggs and fish and other protein-rich foods, but I don't have a schedule or anything.

Stats

Height: 169cm

Weight: 67.6kg

Deadlift: 130kg

Squat: 100kg, though I've never really pushed myself.

Benchpress: I've done 55kg, but again, I've really pushed myself

I hope that is sort of what you meant by stats. I've only been lifting, strength training or whatever for a bit over two months, so I certainly am a beginner. I don't claim to be the best, or even good - but I've (thusfar) made some of the 6th and 7th formers at school embarassed.

Again, thanks for the welcome.

Max
