    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Hi guys,

Just want to introduce myself. I'm 32, I lift weights since about a year or so, I'm from Spain and my English is a bit rusty, but I hope it will be enough for now. :roll:

Yeah, welcome, Sleerash !

You will notice there are quite a number of non-native English speakers around here.
So don't worry about your English, I am sure 90% of the peeps here are not able to speak Spanish ;)

Start a log, set your goals, tell us a bit more about yourself.
Surely you have questions, comments, observations, ...
Posting the results of your workouts in your own training log is part of the success of this program (have already mentioned it plenty of times but it can not be said enough :D )
I prefer to be called 'H' ;)

Thanks for your offer, but I'm good at reading in English. Writing in English is a different matter, however. So please feel free to tell me about my errors and weird expressions.

Ok, a few words about myself:
I'm 32 and I live in Huelva, Spain (near Seville). I've been training for about six months (I weightlifted in the past, sporadically), but recently I have built a home gym in my backyard and I have bought a second hand power rack. I said goodbye to lunges, dumbell bench presses and swings: now I can squat, barbell bench press and deadlift. Hooray!
My stats are (yet) very poor:
Squat: 90 kg 5RM
Deadlift: 110 kg 5RM
Bench press: 100 kg 5RM
I'm 1,80 m with 100 kg of BW (20% BF, more or less). Actually I'm trying to lose fat. Since March I've lost 15 kg; I'm in IF three months by now (warrior diet).
I workout three times a week. This is my routine:

A
Squat 5x5
Bench press 5x5
Pullups 5xF
Dips 2xF
Dumbbell Bent-over row 2x5
Hanging legs raises 5xF

B
Deadlift 5x5
One hand standing dumbbell press 5x5
Chin-up, narrow grip 4xF
Close grip bench press 5x5
Lateral raises 5x5
Reverse crunches 5x5

And that's all for now, folks :).
