Yes everyone it is me, TheSteve, if you guys are wondering why I am showing my face around here yet again it is to say that i am in fact back for good. Yes sit tight everyone, the punkass, poor gramatical teenager who thinks he everything is back.
As most of you know eversince the time when the MH forum died I have been going through alot of roadblocks in my quest of fitness glory. With my recovery from my wrestling injury, my gym beeing destroyed in a hurricane, dealing with school, work and a long distance relationship I have not showed my face around here in a while. Well i am just here to say i am finally in a good place. I have a great parttime job as a stock clerk where, get this, they pay me to pick up heavy things, and as a poor college kid 8.50 an hour is an added bonus. I finally feel that i have adjusted to school and life outside of highschool and while i have been working oput and making gains, i feal that they have been severely handicaped up until recently.
I came up to college this past summer at 158 and until about 2 monts ago i weighed 160.....but recently i haev got back into my old lifestyle and managed to put 10 lbs on my frame putting me up to 168, the heaviest i have ever weighed. Now this is a big thing for me since i started working out weighed a studly 105lbs.
Sorry I havnt been around but you will be sure to see my face around here quite frequently again. Currently im still deciding whether or not to keep with the bulking or start cutting and i am lifting 3-4 days a week. Glad to be back all.
In fact i am actually leaving now to go give a speech in class about nutrition....how i am going to fit in the 6 minute time frame, i do not know.

Sorry, I haven't been around but you will see my face around here quite frequently again. Currently, I'm still deciding whether or not to keep with the bulking or start cutting. I am lifting 3-4 days a week. Glad to be back, all.
In fact, I am actually leaving now to give a speech in class about nutrition....how I am going to fit in the allottedsix-minute time frame, I do not know.
Based on the TWO posts that I've read since logging on just now, I'd say that we're all headed for a little sensitivity training before being allowed to post at JP's!
I remember you back at MH. Might not remember me but glad to have you back anyway!

Heh, thanks Fish. Sadly i am actually a good writer, I have yet to get anything lower than a B+ on any paper i have turned in in my lifetime, i just dont get along with keyboards.
On a side note, after waiting 2 hours in the pouring rain to see my favorite comic Dane Cook(all new amterial, freaking amazing) and not wanting to take my shirt off in the rain like most kids here do to a year of constant "bulking" i have decided to go on a cutting phase. Any links to any premade routines that focus on gaining strength in the process would be awesome, glad to be back all.
Glad to see you're back Steve. Lookng forward to hearing of your progress.

TheSteve and I go WAAAAAAAAAY back...We have a good-hearted ribbing relationship, so I figured it was okay to do a "translation".
And I would agree--your sentence structure, grammar and spelling have improved vastly. Again, I am glad to have you back here.

Heh, heh. I am actually a good sparring competitor; I have yet to get knocked out. I just rarely score any points and never win.
Welcome back!
(Good natured criticism: Slow down a bit on the keyboard and get it typed in a bit better; you ARE communicating with other people, so how it comes out IS important. One could say it's rude to not care about that; kinda like spitting while talking.)
Holy shit, Steve. I was just going through my files of pics of the guys and yours came up. I thought, whatever happened to "TheSteve?" Ten minutes later I log on to JP Fitness and here you are. Glad to see you back, my man.
In Fitness & Friendship,
Mahler

Great to hear from you again Mahler, gald to know that a few of a the good ole boys are still around. Anyway you could send that pic to me? It would be great for motivation. New computer so everything i used to have on my old is long gone.
Hey Steve - good to see you here. I remember you from the MH forum days too. We e-mailed a couple of times about the long distance relationship thing. Hope that aspect of your life is still going well too. Take it easy, man.

Heh, that made me chuckle. He was refering to a post I made a long time ago on the MH forums about my situation with my girlfriend where we talked about it in e-mail, but man that sounded bad.
