    Also a nerd who lifts. I'm a civil engineer. I've been lifting since September 2013, so not very long, but I've been into aerial arts (which is heavy lifting for everything but legs) since 2011.

    What an incredibly strange thing to say to qualify as a nerd. Unless you're demonstrating social awkwardness?

    I'm in! I have no video's of my lifts to turn into gifs YET. I will when, as someone above stated earlier, my form improves and I'm lifting more than light weights.

    Nerd Cred: intelligent, chemistry major who is into astrophysics, technology and history. A gamer, RPGs and FPS are my faves. Like to read sci-fi and the classics. Some of my favorite series books/movies/shows are LOTR and A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones for all of you HBO subscribers). I own swords (yes real swords). I could keep going, like how I was in choir. Nah, I wont.

    Loved reading everyone's posts. Looks like a fun group.

    I'm a database administrator. I used to lift, but right now the only thing I lift is myself. I'm just doing bodyweight stuff right now, but in Iraq I used to lift big 5 days a week, and for a couple years after.

    Joe, did you invent an isomorph secret language with transitional grammar based on limb position for the Alterian upper neuter families with a historical reference to Lacandon language motes? By the age of 12? And then teach it to you little brothers, forever scarring them as "odd".


    Oh, I see. Pfffft. <wiggle left hand UP> perkopfff.

    I listen to science and skeptic podcasts whilst lifting, does that count?

    Also have the social awkwardness down pat as I'm to shy to make friend requests on MFP let alone real life :sad:

    I qualify:

    - I lift heavy things for fun
    - My main (rather obsessive) nerdy interest is a field of biological sciences that has 8 syllables and I will throw stuff like Sahelanthropus tchadensis and neanderthal admixture hypothesis around in conversations on occasion
    - I'm even currently writing some nerdy fiction about neanderthal admixture, time travel and early Homo erectus
