Not much to tell... My name is Mike Sanders, I'm 50 years old, and I was born and raised in Southern California. I graduated from UC Irvine with a degree in Computer Science, and I have been working for the same company for 28 years. When I was in college I worked out regularly, but a bench press shoulder injury put me on the sidelines for decades. I started working out regularly this past April (2011), doing mostly bench press, lateral raises, seated OHP, and pull-ups (no lower-body exercises). My first official Starting Strength workout was 11-14-2011, and I'm hoping it will get this aging body into some semblance of shape. I also compete in long driving (hence my userId), and I've qualified for the world championships twice, once in the Open division (2000) and once in the Senior division (2006). I'm hoping the Starting Strength program will also help me gain a few yards so I can be competitive again in 2012.
