Returning To Bodybuilding after years

Hi all, im coming back to bodybuilding after a 7 year layoff.

I started bodybuilding at the age of 18 and progressed through till the age of 27 where i joined the armed services. There in was a halt and i guess regression of my BB career but it was my own choosing because i became stale and lost the hunger to train. At my best i was 27 years old 5'10" 116kg and 12% body fat. I had won a few state titles and placed well nationally when i was 25 yo.

I am 34 years old now and my BB hunger has returned so I have been training now for 6 months and allready am 110kg (242 pounds). I have made plans to continue my carrer where i left off but this time im going further and have decided to use AR forums as a tool as a catalyst to rekindle my enthusiasm and help me along the way, so i guess i will be seein you around!

BTW pics of me at 25yrs.....

Welcome to AR!

You look very immpresive
Good luck with your comback
What are your stats?

At the age of 27 i was going ok, i had a 200kg bench for 4 reps, 575kg leg press for 15 reps (as i couldnt squat anymore)....... but that was then, im working my way back but im finding i really have to pace myself because the strength comes up before the recovery and connective tissues will allow, benching 180 kg at the moment but i keep having to drop it to 140kg and 160kg because of slight tears to my left pec. Also leg press is at 440 kg for 12 at the moment......

Wicked pics...Muscle Memory is a blessing.

You'll back in no time. :thumbsup: Good luck
