Quick intro on me:
I've been involved in weightlifting and physical sports since I was 16. I was highly unmotivated in my 20s, along with picking up a smoking habit (kicked that), and my nutrition was complete rubbish, but I've had a renewed focus for the last 8 years or so. I respect all kinds of disciplines in strength, endurance, and bodybuilding. Over the years, I've learned to respect others' opinions and take criticism and put it to good use. I'll give a quick rundown of some of my past and current disciplines, supplements, and PEDs. I've lurked on forums for my entire adult life.

Past Weightlifting/Fitness:
- Teens/20s: Mainly bro splits, 5x5, Dogcrapp. I also played Rugby for 7 years, including during college.
- Early 30s: My wife made me go to Orange Theory (yes, I know), but it actually kick-started my motivation.
- Mid 30s: Started group strength training, then tailored it to my liking.
- Current: For the last 3 years, I've been doing CrossFit and yoga.
- 2015: Rotator Cuff/Labrum Surgery
- 2019: Torn Achilles
- 2022: Torn ACL
- I have Dupytrens Contracture... look it up if you're not sure what it is. It sucks.
- All were repaired surgically. The first two occurred while playing rugby, and the ACL tear was a complete accident.
- Took a bunch of prohormones/ephedra in high school and college not knowing any better. 1-TU, 1-Ad, etc.... I know, bad decisions at age-17-22
- Did 4 weeks of test e (400mg/week) at age 22, was supposed to run it for 8 weeks, but life got in the way and I never finished it. I know, bad decisions at age 22.
- Since then... no ph... no PEDs. Bunch of bullshit "test boosters" here and there
- Current: Creatine, fish oil, magnesium.
- 40 years old
