I guess I'll do a quick introduction to who I am and some things about me, why I want to work out, other hobbies, etc. Anyone else please feel free to do so too, I feel if we have some backgrounds on each other we'll feel more connected and less likely to have insulting posts.
Name: Matt
Age: 24
Born: Pittsburgh, PA
Currently Resides: Atlanta, GA
Background: I've been working out pretty regularly since my sophomore year of high school. I've been a member of the same gym since 8th grade, but for the first 2ish years all I did was play basketball (played basketball in middle school/early high school). Sophomore year I started playing football, and a friend/teammate showed me the basics of working out. I was the first senior in my high school's history to be the backup QB to a junior (ya, I wasn't very good lol), but I did get to start 2 games when he broke his arm at the end of the season and finished with 1 career TD, 2 career INTs, 1 rushing TD.
After I graduated high school in 2005, I broke my knees and right ankle at a nearby lake. There was a semi-big drought going on in greater Atlanta, and I jumped off a cliff. However I didn't land in the water right away. Due to complications and a rebreak of the knees, I was bedridden from early August 05 to about Thanksgiving 05. The knees are pretty well repaired, the ankle however is pretty crappy still. On one of my old cell phones I have a picture of my legs after the atrophy, and it looked pretty bad.
I wasn't very big in high school (maybe about 6'0", 165 or so...below average weight for high school football tbh), but after I got out of being bedridden I grew about 2 inches and gained close to 40 pounds. My upper body strength saw big gains, but I gained a lot of body fat too that I'm still trying to lose.
Current weight: ~220
Goal weight: 205?
Other hobbies: Pittsburgh sports (Pirates mostly), Video Games (duh....my favorite game is either Starcraft or Morrowind), Playing trivia with my friends
