Made the plunge after lurking for quite awhile. 36 year old male, 188 lbs as of today, 5'11.5 (never gonna hit that 6foot mark, lol) and working out 4-5 days every week. Diet could always be cleaner but that hits us all. Work schedule is a blessing and sucks at the same time - I work 24 hr shifts at least 2 days of the weeks and then a few more 12's on some weeks. It's great for days off. Crappy for my diet when I'm at work and for my energy the next day!I've read up on the basics, well I feel like I have, and it's now time to contribute some and get more involved to further my learning. Glad to be here and hope to be able to contribute to such a great board!
