Hey everyone,
Hassan here. I am one of the coaches here at BBM. 
A little bit of background lifting related info:
Just turned 28 y.o.
193# BW (I have been as light as 190 and as heavy as 205# or so in the past 12 months)
I have dabbled in powerlifting and weightlifting in the past couple of years but I don’t really consider myself a seasoned competitor in either. So I guess I’ve just been lifting to lift, really. *shrugs*
The current itch to just get strong. I have let my strength fall by the wayside after dealing with some setbacks, a couple of consecutive moves and typical life stuff in the past year or so. The primary goal as of now is to get my squat, bench and deadlift back on board - then hopefully start gunning for some all-time PRs on those lifts. I have my sights set on a powerlifting meet in November (the NJ Iron Gobbler).
Thanks for following along!
