Hi everyone i am new here, my name is pete, i came across this forum at xmas time and found it very intresting, i am 41 years of age, i started training at the age of 24 at a bodyweight of 57k and height is 6ft, my bench was 20k:boohoo:i trained for a further 3 years natural with an increase in bodyweight to 61k and a new bench record of 45k, well not a great increase but i wasent happy, and i think i needed some help from my freinds (if you know what i mean) within 2 months my bodyweight increased to 69k and my bench soured to 70k, there was no looking back i trained untill i was 32 were my bodyweight went to 92k but was never able to bench more than 100k, then unfortunitly dammaged my wrists and had to pack it all in, but was able to start again in march 2007, bodyweight was 79k and bench was just 40k, i changed my training routine, slowly increasing weights each week, dieting well and eating loads of protien, oh yea dont forget my freinds who i see every few months LOL well thats about it guys, the point now is i have reached a goal i have so longed for, my bodyweight is 93k and got 3 reps for 140k last week, i hope i will get 8 reps this week with a slight change to my routine
