Greetings! I'm an 18 year old student now headed into my first year of university. I'm really looking forward to the experience! I've made some really great friends over the years and have had some wonderful experiences despite the fact that I am inherently shy. I love physical activity and have trained in karate (where I achieved black belt status) and have just started powerlifting (training, not competing). Currently, my modest powerlifting personal records are a 280 pound bench press, 400 pound deadlift and a 350 pound squat (although my squat numbers are increasing rapidly due to the fact that I have only recently started training that lift). All of these lifts were completed raw at a weight of 174 pounds after about 1 year of training, not bad, but it could be better. Once I reach the 300, 400, 400 mark, I hope to compete locally. I'm also (generally) a straight A student who just recently graduated from high school with an entrepreneurial subject award, honours and a scholarship. However, with all of the positive things going on in my life, the one negative thing that hurts the most is the fact that I don't have much of a social life. When all of my friends and acquaintances are out partying and having a great time, you can usually find me slaving away on the treadmill, or repping out bench sets, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love physical activity, but because I train at home with a gym set up in my basement, it gets a little lonely..... I just wish I could get out more. With my security guard job approaching and my eventual application to the army reserves, I should have a little more money in the future...but wait! Then I remember I'm a shy person! Darn! Looks like I'll just have to save that money to buy more weights instead of go out with my friends! It will all pay off in the end though right.....RIGHT 8O!? Nice to meet you all and I hope to speak to you again in the future!
Best of wishes! Claude (if that is my real name..... :wink: ).
and yes I’m from earth 2.
