Weightlifting thread.

Well, I know there's 2 threads currently going around right now of the "ask me" type which is helpful, but if the OP is away from the comp for a long time there not as helpful.

 

So if people want to, I say we get an official weightlifting thread going here, where everyone can ask questions on anything relating to bodybuilding, power-lifting or just weightlifting as a hobby. Use as a mini-blog maybe, post your plans here, diet, what you're doing etc. Can give eachother support and advice etc.

 

If you guys are against it let me know, we can just let it die then.

Anyway to start the thread off, I started a bulk last week and started hitting the gym last week for the first time in 6 months. Was out for the last 6 months with illness so I'm starting from scratch at 165Ibs, put on 2 Ibs already since last week, noob gains FTW. Hoping to bulk to about 195-200 by Easter and then cut to around 10% BF. Want to increase my lifts by about half their current figures which shouldn't be to hard as they're aweful right now.

What's your diet like? I always find that more interesting than what people lift, it varies much more from person to person than lifting. Dunno if this thread will get off the ground much though, seems there aren't really any regulars (and the ones that are use the what did you do today thread) and this sub forum seems to mostly be people asking where to start. Oh well, if this thread gets going then good
