I’ve been lurking around these forums for 8-9 months(23 yrs. old) or so now, and I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all the great posters who’ve taught me so much.
When I started lifting 9 months ago, I knew absolutely nothing. I didn’t even know what a squat WAS, never mind how to perform one properly.
My stats when I started:
Height: 6’1"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Bodyfat: ~18%
Squat: 8x95
Deadlift: 6x115
Bench: 8x70
and now…
Weight: 211 lbs.
Bodyfat: ~18%
Squat: 6x250
Deadlift: 5x290
Bench: 6x185
Nothing terribly impressive, but I feel I’ve come a long way and it’s almost 100% because of you guys. Every time I wanted to diet down because I wanted “hot abz” this site reminded me not to waste my time. I’m out to get huge, and it’s just a matter of time before I get there.
So thank you posters and authors of T-Nation, you’ve changed my life for the better and I appreciate it!
