Thought its about time i introduce myself

Kia ora boys and girls

I stumbeled across this website a couple of months back and have found it quite useful and motivating.

After being a dedicated cyclist for approx 2 years a nasty spill sliding down the gravel of a hill and into a bank steered me in the direction of weight training.

Weight 87.8kgs

height 6ft

Age 26

In just under 5 months of training to bulk up/tone up (not excatly sure what my goals are) ive gone from 84.2kgs to 87.8. Lifting heavier (after the cycling i had lost a lot of upper body strength). gradually getting bigger and looking a lot more toned, so i guess im getting there, slowly.

The only supplement im using is protein powder ( 2 young children and a stay at home wife limits my expendable income) eating egg whites, tuna pasta etc, pretty much know the "healthy eating" from my stint with cycling.

I train by myself and do a 3 day split

Chest and tris

Back and biceps

Shoulders and legs, every 2nd day i throw in abs.

Anyone on here train at les mills in the Hutt thats looking for a training partner? Sure i would reach my goals faster if i had the added motivation of a parnter to spur me on and pass on there knowledge

Cheers

Welcome!

Good to see you've soaked up some info, great to see you're sticking to basics & not trying the usual 6 day split with far too much in it that many beginners go mistakenly go for!
