Hey

[Luis]

Hey all,
I'm new to this forum, but not new to the site. I found out about this site from my training partner who told me about it one day while lifting in the gym. I'm a young guy from New York, NYC. I've been lifting for about roughly over 2 years now, but the first year was really where I was experimenting and did bodybuilding exercises where I just wanted to gain size and get big due to my small body frame. The next year me and my training partner started to strength train instead and I have to admit I loved it! I have gotten bigger and look better as well. My main goal as of now is to continue to lift and increase weights to get stronger as months passes by. So far I had gotten stronger with decent heavy lifts by strength training. I'm not really new to lifting weights, since I've been doing lifting for over 2 years and I have a decent knowledge as well by doing my research. I finally decided to create an account today and this is really my first post. I hope to be able to contribute as well as to learn to in this great community. Take care.

Yo Luis, welcome to the forum (even though you've been lurking for a while ).
I don't have any bodybuilding experience so it's good to hear from people who do that the SL program is working well for them. Keeps me from wondering/wandering.

I'll be in NYC over US Thanksgiving, mainly Lafayette area in Brooklyn and South Manhattan. If I hear any grunts and iron clanking, I'll assume it's you.

Welcome, Luis. If you're not on the SL 5x5 program already I can heartily recommend it! Also start a training log, it's excellent for motivation and you will get to know some of the other guys on here as well. It's a great community

Lol yeah funny thing is my gym is a block away from Lafayette Street in Manhattan though.

Thanks for the advice amaeland, but I'm lifting kinda like a powerlifting style since my workout is soley based on the WestSide Barbell Routine where I do lower body and upper body twice a week where I have both a dynamic effort day and a max effort day for each. Never tried the SL 5x5 program, but will eventually. I don't have a "real " training log, but I do happen to write down my workout after every workout.

Thanks for the comments.
