I've been lifting for about 14 years now. I have only had to directly pay for the last two as gym use was encluded in student fees in college, plus I got payed to workout while I was working there.

Cheers,

I'm 43 now, and I have been lifting since high school. Sometimes more serious than other times.

I worked out for a year about 7 years ago, do I have to count that?
Well I didn't, so I guess I should "keep going" !!

At 43 I wish I could check the last option !!

Cheers

Kind of a trick question here dont ya think?!?! Shouldn't it be lifting "Properly" (good form) I've been lifting since I was in 7th grade off & on (more on than off, Dad was big into lifting and coaches had us lift for football and wrestling) but now at the age of 35 I can honestly say with good form not very long. Never had anyone to actually show me the right way to lift as a kid, so my self taught learning there was limited to the muscle mags.

 

[super_rice]

very good point made.

i've been going for a year, and my form improves with everytime i go in.

only been doing the all major compound exercises for the last 6 months. with good form on squats and deads for around 5... as the first month was just... dowel and home practice... then bar and practice practice

 

[UA_Iron]

lifting seriously for about 5 years now. Last 2 years have been more serious than the first 3.

Yea, I knew it was going to be tricky ... Not many people have been lifting strait for years and years ...
But I am sure nobody had count the 2 months disordered training done 20 years ago.
I've checked the first option because I think that now I am working mooore or leeess in the right way and still lots to learn about working out, dieting and my body.

What about a poll: how much money have you spent in supplements during your career? Too stupid?
