Hmmm, I started lifting weights in the 8th grade. I am currently 25. I never stopped really. A few injuries here and there, but other than that, I have always lifted. I can't say I was doing things correctly that entire time, but I continue to build upon my empirical knowledge to this day. I don't care who you are, you can never know everything when it comes to the sciences of the body. Such a vast and ever-changing subject. | |

Why hello there! I'm more than twice your age, unattractive, out of shape, with lots of baggage, but I'm a great catch; you single? 
Wait, did I just say that out loud? 
Just teasing (sort of ), welcome to the site
