I only started this thread because all of the other threads are like two years old, and they're filled with so much other crap its hard to figure out whats recent and whats not in the 'younger crowd' world.
So, allow me to introduce myself, i am Elliot. I am 19 yrs old, a freshman at Boston College currently. Next year i will be attending Texas Tech (as i am from texas, i moved back due the fact that private school wasn't the atmosphere that suits me, and this way, its easier on the pocket book).
I am a photography major with a concentration in pre-med. Current hobbies include working on cars (used to have a BMW M3 that i worked on, currently i do not have a car to work with seeing as i just sold the m3), working out, and my ongoing love for the arts.
now that all of that has been said, feel free to post here, so that we may know what teens actually are around this board and aren't from 2 yrs ago.

My name is JIM and I'm a lift-aholic. I guess I've on the lift for 10 years now and I can't seem to stop. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't offend anyone in AA...
I'm JIM, from Long Island New York. Went to undergrad at beautiful New Paltz (some may have seen it on the news as the small NY town that has been marrying same sex couples:))
I have a Masters in social work from Stony Brook University and I'm a licensed therapist. I love to lift. I was a competative power lifter for a few years. I deadlifted 635, benched 445, and squated 585 clean. Those were the days.:(. I am now a competative bodybuilder, training for my next show in August in NYC. I live and die for sports and I live with my girlfriend (Jlynch63 to you FT people). I'm a huge advocate for civil rights as well.

my name is JIM as well, from New Jersey. i currently attend Rutgers University with a major in psychology with hopes of one day...ironically enough from jdelts besides having the same name...to get my masters and become a licensed therapist as well. i love to lift, have been for about 4 years now, and just getting into serious strength training and loving it. i also love to play golf too, holding a 6 handicap. maybe this summer i can get it down to a 5. that would be nice.
also a beach nut...i pretty much go anytime i can, day or night. i just find it to be the most relaxing thing i can do. espcially at night when you find that one spot of uncommercialized shore and just lay back, listen to the ocean waves and stare at the stars. its like you escaped the world if just for a few hours. it dosn't get more relaxing than that.

My name is Hector and I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I joined the Marine Corps in 94 at the tender age of 17. I love to be healthy more so than lifting. I will probably be getting out of the Corps in 2006 as my wife has started a business which we anticipate will be very succesful. Once I get out I will either go back to school or become a personal trainer.
Like JDELTS I am a big time sports nut. I also like proffesional wrestling. I love to golf also but I do not have a 6 handicap more like 26 but I digress. I also just realized that I am in the under 25 thread and I am 27. Please do not ban me.

Hola! Me llamo Chris. Tengo 22 años. I am a 3rd year Mathematical Physics student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. Wherever Spanish is spoken, it is warm, so I'm trying to learn. I'd like to live there when I'm done my undergraduate. I wouldn't mind if I never saw snow again.
When I'm not studying or shovelling snow, I enjoy playing guitar and soccer. I love soccer and could play it all day. I'd go play it right now, but oh look its snowing again. 4 seasons my ass. In Canada we have have 3 warm months, a month of fall, 4 days of spring, and over a half a year of bitter cold winter. Wow, maybe it's just me that's bitter. I'll try this again when the sun comes out next month.

Howdy, my name is Brogie, I am 25 years old. I am a former athletic trainer from Blacksburg, Va. Been lifting hardcore for about 2.5 years now. Got my B.S. in HNFE(human nutrition foods and exercise. Recently just recertified as a personal trainer. Currently a faculty member of the university, getting ready to make the big move to San Diego, California. going back to school for sports medicine, wanting to get on a college or sports team, the giants would be the ultimate. Preparing for some local competitions, looking forward to showing my hard work off, owe everything I have accomplished to this site. When I graduated I was a smoker, bad eater, on the ganja, and didn't care about my health. I was a walking contradiction in my major. Now in the best shape of my life, bf% is 6.9 and dropping. Goal is to be as defined and as healthy as jdelts and bb1! Other than working 50-60 hrs week, put in 2 hours everyday at the gym. Other than that I am at home hanging with the girlfriend, learning new healthier things to eat and watching the WWE. Hec, I played high school ball with Billy Wagner, former AStro now a Phillie, wathc out for tha kid man, big things coming his way. Nice to meet all of you again for some. Look forward to learning from all of you. Peace!

Hey everyone. My name is Matt and I am 22 years old. I am from Livonia, MI. For the past year I have been a personal trainer and I am having a great time doing it. I am attending college and am just about finished with my AD. I have been training for about 4 years, and real serious for the past 2. I am going into law enforcement, following in the family footsteps(dad and brother are police officers) Training and eating healthy is my way of life and I wouldn't want it any other way. I also LOVE my music. Anything real heavy(Hatebreed) or anything classical(Bach), great stuff.

It smells bad at the heights, but I like the zeppolis and the worlds largest pizza slices. Belmar is a good time as well. Seaside is where I went when I was younger...for a younger crowd, but every once in a while I go back there.

Hi I am Shawna. I am 23. I live in Lubbock Texas and go to Texas Tech Health Sciences Center as a Physical Therapy Major. I have a serious boyfrined if 5 years and we are waiting to get married until we graduate. My hobbies include working on cars (yes CARS I know it is a guy thing but I love it), playing tennis, running and school. My goal is to get fit and tone and stay that way. Being a physical therapist you need to be in good shape so that you can help your patients do their exercises, if you can lift thier leg you can't help them. My only job right now is selling Mary Kay. It is all that I have time for with school.
Hey Tex are you going to go to med school at Tech? TTUHSC is great I really like it a lot.
Everyone good luck with your Goals! :big_smile:

Hey, My name is Jason. I am 20 years old, and have been lifting since I was 14. I started out because of football, and I still play football at a small college in wisconsin (UW-Platteville) I love playing football, but I love weightlifting and bodybuilding more. I hate the football offseason program here. The strength coach is a former player here, who is 24 and grossly out of shape(and not in a big and strong way, more in a small and chubby way). It will probably take a month of training on my own to get as strong as I was when I came to school in august because their program is so aweful I have actually lost strength.
I was originally an engineering major, but after a year of that, I realized it wasn't what I really wanted to do. I just couldn't put my heart into it, So I took the less financially stable route and became a phy ed/health major. I won't make much money, but I know I will love my job for the rest of my life.

Hello, my name is Gerald, I am 23. I have a wide interest in both the scientific and medical feilds (primarly anything that deals with relativity physics in sceince). At this time I'm in the delayed entry program for the PA national gaurd, I go to basics sep. 17. After my training I'm thinking of either 1. going active Army and tryin to join the Rangers or Berrets, or 2. Stayin PA gaurd and going to Mansfield college for sports medicine and seeing about becoming a personal trainer (or a sports trainer for football would be nice). Right now I am training hard to get back into shape for both myself and the Army. I enjoy lifting and sometime in the future would like to go full time body building and possibly competing. I like to watch football, and am a big fan of the SF 49er's. FT. is a driving inspiration from the people to accomplish what I want, and is what I turn to if I'm feeling discouraged or just to relax and pass the time (that is if I've already done all my Cardio and workout for the day).

im 16, and my proper name is adam, and i come from a little hair on the arse of england called wellingborough. i taught myself to play guitar, and this will hopefully get me out of school and out on tour in january. i only went back to sixth form/college because i left it too late to aply for the health and fitness and outdoor activity supervisor course that i was planning on taking.
at the moment im pretty low because school is getting really hard, and i cant be bothrered and i dont want to be there, and lots of other crap in my love life and stuff like that, so send me some jokes or stupid crap to cheer me up.
i also think that charlie may be my long lost brother, but am starting to doubt it as he is a bit older that my mum.
