Growing up played a bit of soccer, a bit of rugby and a lot of tennis.

Started "weight-training" during last 2 years at University - the usual, commercial "Body-building" routines. Gained about 5kg.
Subsequently, joined the military and served in the Infantry, therefore spent 9 years in the running/hiking/long slow distance field.
Now a civilian and intending to actually put some fucking weight on.
Training solo in a compound in Saudi Arabia.
Using the 2nd Edition of Starting Strength.
Starting right from the beginning in order to learn the techniques. Fairly confident that I have developed sufficient maturity to "risk" starting at very low weights and not throw the towel in (reference Rips "Incremental Increases" article.)
