Hi

I thought I should introduce myself seeing as I've been lurking about for a little while now and occasionally posting.
I'm 25, work in London and trying to get back in shape after years of sitting slumped in my chair behind this desk. I used to be a bit of an athlete before a few serious leg injuries came along but now after a 6 year rest I'm planning a come back by putting a little muscle on my frame

I'm 6'2", 182lbs, 12%bf and looking to get up to about 200lbs and about 10%bf.
I've been a regular in the gym for a couple of months now but still feel a little lost amongst all the routines I've read about on here. The diet advice has been fantastic though, I've never been healthier and even gave up smoking when I joined the gym in June
 
Welcome

Hi and Welcome.. Congrats to you for quitting smoking. Im sure it was hard. :)
 
To be honest it hasn't been that bad, I'd tried to give up for years but never really lasted longer than about 10 hours but once I started at the gym I found it so tough on my smokers lungs that it gave me real inspiration to keep going
 
good for u man! i remember when i used to smoke and dance it was like so much harder, then when i quit it was like someone lifted a weight off my shoulders. congrats!
 
I played just about every sport I could find time to play and was hoping to reach the 11 second mark at the 100m when I tore my hamstring pretty bad (18 y/o), 7 years on now and it's still not strong enough to sprint or play football with but I'm hoping that a bit of gym time will help me strengthen the area enough to give it another go.

Welcome CCR, fellow Londoner.

I presume, you have been seeking professional advice for your hamstring.
