Hey, I'm Berin, AKA Ferrous Maverick at http://ironstrong.org. I tried to set up the user name femaverick here, but my iPhone messed up and I'm stuck with the user ID you see now.

I train for strength, and for fighting. While I'm by no stretch a body builder, JEFit is probably the best app available for the iPhone to track my training progress. I love, love, love the rest timer, and will delve more into the advanced features of JEFit later.

I'm currently working on getting down to fighting weight. I'll always be a heavy weight, but the goal is to get a flat stomach by tournament time. I'll worry about the 8-pack later if I'm so inclined.

I'm currently running the Wendler 5/3/1 program for strength, and doing my own thing for conditioning and skill work. I've got a tested 5RM of 335lbs on squats and an estimated 1RM of 405. Bench and press have always lagged behind, but you punch with your hips anyways.

63 posts later you introduce yourself. LOL

Glad to see you here. How long have you been doing 5/3/1? I'm about to start my second cycle next week.

I'm still in my first cycle. I'm loving having time to train something other than barbell.

Glad to hear a bit more about you Sir! I did check your profile yesterday, but there was nothing much to see, so I'm glad you've taken the opportunity to tell us a bit more about yourself.

Welcome to the Forums. Mind the step on the way in and do beware of the leopard...

Kind Regards
Dave
