Thread: Hola

Hey, hello and hi to you all, I've seen snippets of this place through my colleague (Machine - I wipe the sweat from his brow as he strains with all that strenuous pencil-pushing he does) and I'm eager to get some advice and friendly support from people who are (hopefully) sympathetic to my cause.

A short introduction to my general health, I'm an ex-smoker and in a pretty crap physical condition right now, but I've joined a gym recently in an effort to do something about it. I'm now swimming every day and working an entry level muscle workout every alternate day, a regime I worked out with a PT.

Now a lot of you say "I'm slim" and probably think it's true, but I think I can quite comfortably say you'd look pretty chunky compared to me. I have 5.5% body fat and a BMI of 17. I'm 6'2" and I weigh 62kg (9.5st) Admittedly, my 6-pack looks pretty awesome, but to no credit of my own. Essentially, I want to join this place for 2 reasons. First, I want to be able to keep a good track of my stats right from the start of my working out, and see for myself if I'm making progress. Secondly, I like to feel like I have some moral support (albeit from complete strangers), which this place will do nicely with. Advice is also welcome.

So hello again!

nice one man!! u the new breed here, most guys are trying to shed the pounds off, ull be trying to put them on?
welcome to the forum and enjoy!!!

Yes indeedy, I want to aim to gain about 20kg so it's a tall order!

Welcome aboard fella.

If you go sensibly with your training & eating you should be able to pack on some decent muscle mass & still maintain a super-low bodyfat! I'd love to be putting on 20kg of lean mass - that's a lot of good eating you have ahead of you there, enjoy!

Welcome buddy. This is the best place for advice and support. Let's pile on those pounds!

Welcome mate.
Your in a great position mate......naturally lean and now looking to bulk....as Glenn said, you have some awesome eating ahead of you.
You will get some great advice on here and with Machine in your corner, your bound to do well mate!

20kg will be a challenge, but definately possible with a carefully planned diet and some dedication. Good luck, i'm sure Machine will push you all the way!

Thanks all for the welcome, I'm sure I'll be just fine here, addicted to excersise already!

Youll soon be addicted to eating aswell

Good luck mate!
