Hello everyone,

I'm honored to be here and to be part of this community. My name is Andrew. I'm seventeen years old, and I've been lifting for about a year now. It's only recently that I discovered the incredible work of Mark Rippetoe, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for me. His work has really resonated with me, and I'm excited to give the NLP some discipline. I will be attending the Starting Strength Seminar in August.

To give you an idea of where I'm starting from, here are my current working set numbers:
- Squat: 80 kg (176 lbs)
- Deadlift: 105 kg (231 lbs)
- Bench Press: 70 kg (154 lbs)
- Overhead Press: 55 kg (121 lbs)

I'm currently 5'8" and weigh 71 kg (156 lbs).

I know I have a long way to go, but I'm determined to work hard and see how far I can push myself. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you, sharing my progress, and being part of such a supportive and knowledgeable community.

Thank you for having me, and I can't wait to get started!
