New UK guy

Found this site via videos on youtube (Metin's vids to be exact) and they made me really want to get started and get involved. I'm hoping it will help me build a decent phisyque too, but I'm more interested in a routine and some of the crazy holds ive seen.

Anyway, I posted on the crews section already with a simular post but thought I'd put it here too.

As said, I'm a brand new enthusiast just starting out and no where near the strength/conditioning needed even for the 2010 requirements... pretty much in the starting blocks but im ready to go! I have two mates also interested but they live back in my home town in bournemouth.

I have the motivation and enthusiasm.. i just lack pretty much everything else But I'm hoping this site and the community will help me (us) with training/diet/techniques/workouts etc.

I'm in birmingham and im a 28yr old male so pretty past it compared to most! Oh well like a challenge lol.

welcome to the forums bro. check out on the training log for a rough idea on what you can do.

Welcome to the forum! I was going to say have a look at the seminar's this weekend, but you've already done that!

As to the age, well we've got many people here who're in their 30s and 40s - never to late to start

Also check out http://bar-barians.forumotion.com/t3230-bar-barian-beginners - tonnes of useful advice

cheers guys.. ill check the links out.. loads of lunch break reading haha.

as i just mentioned/replied.. will see about the seminar. too much too quick im worried will put me off / depress me at being so rubbish lol.

you can probably tell confidence is not my strongest attribute. lol

Hey mate, welcome to the forums. I just started a British thread if you want to check it out, hopefully a lot of the UK based members will find it and turn it into a good place for local advice.
