	2005/04/13, 10:24 PM hmm...I started 'messign around with weights' at 14.....at 130lb lol(when i trained with my friend he was 275...I looked like a little twig...lol).....I trained on and off...then quit for a year...then started again for half a year...then in college I trained inconsistantly by not doing legs for long stretches...months at times...doing mostly bench...then around 19..and 2nd year of college I started lifting seriously and consistantly...so I am approaching 4 years of serious consistant lifting...

bropie Posts: 1,084 Joined: 2004/12/04	2005/04/14, 07:34 AM i probably messed around for about 1 1/2 to 2 years.. sort of having a basic knowledge, but nothing like i do now. i'd say serious weightlifting has been going for about 8 months, as this summer over 4 months when i quit i lost 35 lbs of muscle and dropped to 130 lbs! pretty unhealthy for me, but now, through my personal training course, this site, and kinesiology at school, have refined my look at health
	2005/04/14, 10:42 AM 9 years of consistent lifting, but I've understood the nutrition and science behind it all for only about 3 years (since joining FT). Naturally, I've made the most gains in that time period. Thanks to FT and all the members who've helped!

RandomGirl Posts: 227 Joined: 2005/02/25	2005/04/15, 04:13 PM Ya Princess, I don't know where it started that for women weightlifting is only low weight/high reps, but it sure is a prevalent theory. I still can't convince my girlfriends to ditch toning. I expect when I look better than they do, they might finaly join me. Here's hoping!
	2005/04/15, 05:17 PM yea....toning is something many people fall victim to not just women...I have guys ask me the same thing and it kills me..... It's awesome when exercise becomes part of someone's lifestyle...that's the only way to maintain consistancy in the workouts....
ace-dragoon Posts: 58 Joined: 2002/02/17	2005/04/18, 12:33 AM Well, I guess I might as well jump in on this so I suppose I would have to say about 3 years off and on. Off due maily to injury but a couple times due to a lack of focus.

dvelswk Posts: 192 Joined: 2005/05/07	2005/05/17, 12:42 PM Hmm I started weights when I was 13 on and off, it was recommended because I use to be a meth addict so the rehab I was in got me into it (was about 5'10 and 90lb then).. I didn't start everyday weightlifting until I was 14 and a half, so I've probably done it for about 2 years.
