On this site opinions may differ.In the real,non-cyber world i would consider someone a vet by several different things.First,they have to have at least a solid if not better physique.The personal expierience they have had with different gear and they have to have really used it and not use others expieriece or reasearch.The amount of actual gym expirience.Age is a factor.Last but not least is thier ability to willingly want to help others no matter how stupid the question or the amount of the same questions asked.Remember we all started somewhere.If you put that all together with someone with good common sense,that will give you your vets for both this site,any site and real-life gym vets.
