    Hi! This might not be the best site for it. Check out the community section and the forums on sites like bodybuilding.com
    Good luck!

    yup, there is a vocal population here that thinks jillian michaels videos and bodyweight workouts are serious lifting.

    There's a few of us though that actually move heavy stuff. Bigger population on bb.com.

    Check out the 225 bench press challenge thread.

    but I thought it was serious lifting!? I swear I gained muscle and lost weight! :#
    seriously, that's how most beginners think.. I eventually stopped thinking that and have slowly started the 5x5 program

    1000 pound club is filled with some serious lifter. Competitive lifters more than non competitive.

    I am guess the time you have spend under some weight? If you are trying to figure out if you are a serious lifter. I think you are more serious than I am.

    I'm a competitive powerlifter and strongman but if you are looking for a good community of strength athletes, I would head over to the t-nation forums.

    ^this

    It's just that the signal-to-noise ratio is a little lower than other sites...

    ...although based on what I've read on some of those other supposedly more serious lifter sites, I'm not entirely certain of this.

    Stick around and add to your FL as you find them here.

    Hey, me too!



    Oh, wait. You said "15"...

    ...and not "1.5".



    Never mind.
