Hey, Guys:
I've been lurking around long enough to realize two things: 1. This is an awesome forum, and 2. I need to introduce myself.
I'm 53 years old, 6'1", 183bs. Bodyfat 11%. Been lifting off and on since 18 years old. Athletic generally, but consider weights the core activity for health and fitness. I like lifting because it works on the same principal as life: Effort and commitment yield the only results of real value. If it's easy or cheap, it's probably not worth having.
Been hitting it hard the last two years: 6 clean meals a day, rest, heavy weights, volume. Made reasonable gains last year, but this year I feel like I'm hitting a hormonal wall and the effort pays fewer dividends. Have been reading around this forum every day for months now, and it's provided an education and community that I was missing at the gym. Sincere thanks for that.
Working around a bad shoulder, but rather than being afraid that lifting will worsen the issue, I think that it's my only chance to avoid a replacement some day - and I'm hoping for a few decades of lifting left in me still.
That's about it. No AAS experience. One other thing - I worked as a trainer at a gym about 30 years ago, and I'm struck, these last few months on this forum, by how much more we know now than we did then.
Thanks again for your parts in creating this great resource, and I hope to be able to contribute in some small way in the future.
