Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and tell you guys a little about myself. I'm a 36 year old father of 4, work long hours as an industrial mechanic and still try and get my swole on as best I can. I've been looking for a forum to chat with good folks and not have to deal with the guys that talk down on everyone from their 50 zillion mgs a day soapboxes! I peaked around on this site for a few before joining and I gotta say, I think I found my place!
A little on my background....hopefully without boring the hell out of you. Been lifting weights since I was in junior high and started wrestling and playing football. I've stayed on the weight pile for most of my life and run cycles here and there for the past 15 years or so. Some good and some bad, never really had any good advice from anybody through the years and just kinda winged it and found some things out the hard way as I'm sure some of you have. Its been quite a few years since I've run anything though aside from some test e about a year ago. A few years back I started having a lot of problems with my stomach and was swelling up with hives all the time. I saw Dr. after Dr. for a couple years trying to figure out what was going on before finally being diagnosed with Celiac disease last February (that's why my name is GlutenFarts). And when I say I was diagnosed with Celiacs I mean a real diagnosis... Not like the gluten free fad diet types! Anyhow, during the couple years it was going unchecked I was just wasting away. After I got diagnosed And was eating foods that I could digest I blew up into a fatty in no time. I'm 6'2" and I went from a starving 175 to about 260 quickly. Once I got my diet in check and started motivating my ass to get back to the gym I am happy to say that I am back down to 220 again. I got a long way to go to still to get my lean muscle and BF where I want it but I'm feeling great again. Looking forward to getting to know you all and learn something along the way!
