How Many Years Have You Been Working Out?

[Roadblock]

Started in -97 and didn´t know what I was doing. In -99 i quit for a year and came back -00 and this time I was motivated and I started to read and learn instead of listening to rumors and "advice" from friends who actually didn´t know shit.
So 2 years in march

Well guess I'm the OLD Man here, I'm 43 and started lifting when I was 17 years old. Initially it was all dumbbell workouts for everything but the weightlifting bug kept biting harder and it was soon down to the local club and total workouts with everything in site. Over 25 years now and still going, I guess there are many other things a person could get addicted to that would be far worse. I still like looking at the old guys like Arnold, Frank Zane and Sergio, todays Mr. Olympia's just look way too Freaky and Roided-up (sorry, I know many of them still want to claim that there just genetic freaks)

On and off for about 5 years. But I didn't start doing it seriously (read : regularily) until 2.5 years ago.

Big Arnold, I'm a young guy and I totally agree with you. Arnold looked so much better than the GH monsters of today. The GH monsters are cool, but nothing compared to the days of Arnold, Oliva, Columbo, Zane, etc. In my opinion, its all about symmetry(30" waist and cannonball shoulders)

10 years in a month. Nonstop for the first 8-9 years, only missing a week in that period. Didnt have a gym available. And about a year ago I only trained a few times in a 2 month period due to 2 back injuries. Aside from that always consistant. I train for strength and size. KILL THAT SHIT!!
