Hello, everyone. Do you mind having a guy in the group?

Hello, everyone my name is Vince. Been strength training for about 37 weeks now, but started working out about 2 years ago. I actually started with linear progression on Mehdi's Stonglifts, but have switched over to Rippetoe's starting strength. I just started tracking my nutritional intake as I eat too many cheat meals sometimes.
The two books that helped me out the most were Starting Strength and Practical Programming for Strength Training both by Mark Rippetoe. And just like it says on the back, if you read these two books you'll be ahead of 90% of people at the gym.
The whole time I've been strength training I have been on linear progression, but now I'm getting to a point where it's time to move on to the Texas Method.
Right now I'm trying to add the Olympic lifts to my program, but barely have the technique right.

We actually already have one token guy, so feel free to join the group. The other stronglifts group seems relatively dead, while we're pretty chatty. Just keep in mind, we don't sensor our talk because there's guys in the group, and often there can be TMI. You have been warned.0

welcome aboard guys!
Now if only y'all would stop putting chemicals in my tasty beer we could have a real party (although I guess they only dye crappy beer anyways). I'll just stuff my pockets with craft beer instead. :laugh:0 -

Probably strippers too. But I don't see that one going well for me.0 -
Thanks, guys. I'd probably have to cut down on the beer though. Going to the gym with a hangover does not feel good. lol0

Funny enough I went to the gym last week after having a 12 pack the night before. Best workout ever! LOL. It was weird.0 -
