Thread: How old when you started & how long have you been training?

How old were you guys when you got started seriously training with weights and how long have you been training now?



I turned 32 at the start of this year and have been training just over a year - wish I'd got started back in my late teens!

I was about 15 when i started messing about in the gym. started taking it seriously when i turned about 17. since i started ive doubled my bodyweight.

I started training september 2008 so have been training 17months just about!
Takes alot of effort and dedication but i enjoy doing it so i believe i will stick to it for the forseeable future.

i started 11 years ago when i was 15, i was in the school gym every other night. i then left school and got fat. i joined the gym again when i started college got fit, met my fieancee, got fat again........i then stasrted the gym again with friends got fit ish. friends left...... had to work 50hrs left gym, got fat. i got back for good about 4 months ago. started at 16stone now 14 stone andf getting ripped. never give up.

hahhaa you're worse than kerry katona. fat, ripped, fat, ripped. nows the time to be in your best shape yet though dude. lets see what you got.

I just feel like a lump of lard at the moment! Cant wait for when my cut starts April...16weeks of Cravings and obstacles along the way! God its gonna be hard.

yeah.... i love my food. its like im drawn to 30oz steaks deep fried everything and a whopper on the side lol. oh well those days are gone now. lol

I started back when I was 17 - I was living above a nightclub, and my main social circle were doorman. Lots of them were trying to either put size on, or cut back getting ready for a handful of competitions. I was quickly put off though, most of them were churning through roids - not a good place to be.

I have been on and off ever since then, its only now though im beginning to see the gains in my training that I want.

I wish I knew what i do now back then, I could have made soooo many gains lol - I guess looking back in retrospect is easily done though.

I started working out in the gym regularly when I was 18 and had left home to go to uni.

Girls are a great motivater for a young man it seems.

But I didn't really get into training properly until I was about 22 when I met some guys at work who where really into it and got me hooked as well.

been weight training for bout 3 years.....never taken it seriously till now! changed my training plan and nutrition plan so hopefully get the body ive always wanted!
