Introduce Yourself: If you've never Posted, Post here please...
Hello All,

My name Joel and I am going to be 41 here shortly. I am a lifelong lifter (started too young at 11-12) who grew up in the shadow of an uncle that was going pro in bodybuilding. I took a hiatus from lifting regularly during much of grad school and I am now a teaching economist (college level), with seven kids and a wife.

Like many I weigh too much (and then some) and I have been lifting a lot of volume as I get older to keep from getting too heavy on my lifts (really trying to avoid joint problems, but it has not been working). I hired a well know nutritionist (BB and General Pop) to work with me last year and had some success losing weight, but not a lot. It seems the second I let off the pedal on dropping calories that my body craves to go higher (without actually adding calories back in). On the nutritionist suggestion, I looked at the volume of my training (he suggested I am doing too much) and tried out a few things before FT.

I purchased the book (and subscribed) three months ago and have now run two rounds of FT. I have been happy with the book (best fitness purchase yet) and the program (for the most part). After using too much volume for decades it is nice to use a program and just do it (quicker in the gym too).

Thanks Scott for the resources and the help (vids are awesome). You do make a difference and I am glad to see that you seem to have not sold out.

-Joel
