It's not about bragging or impressing it's about letting members know the fortune of knowledge they have here.
Your gear and education experience is invaluable. Thanks.

Some of my greatest teachers in this area and lifestyle learned and self educated through passion.

I feel like such a newbie:

7 years weight training
3 years gear/peptides experience
.5 years training a few clients (still studying for my ISSA cert)
3 years on this board

I do read a shit load every day though. I'm trying to make up for my time in service

Your far from a newb. Good luck on your ISSA. Training is all sales and motivation. I got lucky training a fella who ended up going pro then things went really well from there. Cross -sell supplements, equipment....whatever you can think of.

Wow, I didnt know your part in building MC.

Studying gear two years before using is brilliant. Not many have that type of patience.

saudades · Nov 12, 2008

If I count back to highschool when I started weightlifting, I have 25 years experience weight training. Serious hardcore training would be 11 years. 9 years gear experience.

Yep, Sticky was there in the beginning. I suppose I've sort of taken over, lol! The board was awesome from the very start though, thanks to the efforts of Sticky, Presser, and a few others. I have 11 years of graphic design/multimedia/web design experience. 11 years of Unix/System administration, including running web servers.

mcgaret · Nov 13, 2008

Started lifting at 16 and am now 51 = approx 35 years training. (this isn't including my
home workouts from Charles Atless that I got from sending away from the ad in the back
of the comic books - the one where the guy kicks sand in the other guys face - lol - boy, am I dating myself)
Have done Olympic and bodybuilding training.
Been reading on nutrition for as long and taken college nutrition classes.
Started 'supplementing' with test in my fourtys when I couldn't make any more gains no
matter what I did.

thats impressive for someone of any age IMO.

i tried to major in that, but Im just not good enough at math and science.

R15O · Nov 17, 2008

Not much here:

lifting 10 years
gear 1 long cycle that lasted 3 years (I know, I know)
powerlifting competed for 2 years
college dropped out 2 times

But it's never too late. I constantly read and study and pick people's brains.

Odd Haugen didn't touch a weight until he was 44. When he turned 51, he was ranked the 18th strongest man in the world. He's in in late fifties now (or is he 60?) Even though he doesn't do the WSM any more, he still currently competes in powerlifting. At 58-60years old (I forget) he pulled a 785lb deadlift in a competition earlier this year.

Been on the bodybuilding boards since they started.

Purchased a domain named "MuscleChemistry.com" back in 1999 and with the help of many good bros started MuscleChemistry.com which was first started on a free board back then called ikon board(built by Stickler) and even before that ezboard and our name was originaly "MuscleChemistry 2k" beings it was only 1999 back then the name MuscleChemistry 2k sounded cool,lmao.

No schooling for fitness at all unfortunalty but I have a "PHD in MuscleChemistry & Steroidology"
