How old is everyone here?

[Justin_p]

...and how long have you been training?

You know, so we know who to mock and disregard as know-nothing pukes. You can even count your Zumba classes as part of your training.

Almost 33 years old. Ten years consistently; 12 years total.

 

[kenpoengineer]

53 here, 6 years consistently and 8 years total. Before lifting I practiced Kenpo karate for 15 years.

 

[87f]

20 years, training 2-3. ****ing around with stupid shiz for maybe another 1 before that.

 

[bassbastard]

39 - Just started training again less than a year ago. Used to lift and practice Ju-Jitsu, Akido and Ken-jutsu styles in my teens and early 20's... After 4 knee surgeries, 2 hand surgeries and 2 years of physical therapy after a wreck that nearly killed me, I have decided to once again get into fighting shape.

Basically, I am lifting, riding and training for all around conditioning and strength. (Endurance, brute force and agility combined)
I have never had an issue bulking, so that part I am saving for in between circuits of endurance and agility.

 

[SuffolkLifter]

42

Training since I was a chubby weak 35 year old with depression and symptoms of onset type II beetus.

(Not anymore)

But still gutted I didn't start as a teenager.

Speaking of.. I smashed my finger today. Got caught under an adjustable bench that broke. Left with a slightly split nail,and lots of blood. Everyone asked if im okay lol.

I finished my workout like a champ. Tomorrow is leg day. Haven't taken pain meds cause I dont need them but thursday is back day. Weighted pull ups. With this finger gonna have to bust out my dusty straps. Taking grip outa the equation. Don't you love injurys? Not much more I can do on dealing with them right? Any advice from the older trainees here?

Anywhos. I felt like a tough SOB today. Thought I would share that.

Well I'm not an 'older trainee' so my input is pointless, and I guess I heal like a ****ing machine which allows me to train everyday.

But I just advise training through it?
I f#cked up my right wrist twice 3 weeks ago doing heavy front squats and pulling 3 fingers out, and then smashing a deadlift into the ground while doing hook grip. Couldn't move hand for a few days.

I couldn't do bench or OHP for like 2.5 weeks but I could do reverse grip bench and reverse grip OHP for some reason, so I just did that. Always find a way around.

Squatting everyday f#cked me up until I started stretching my hips ****ing heaps.

Done that before and boy is it brutal. You're finger starts to turn all purplish and shyt but as long as your adrenaline is pumping the pain shouldn't start to kick in as much until after your lifting session...then it starts to really suck lol

Yeah. Going in the gym today and trying a set of pull ups before my leg portion of leg day. Im hoping these straps will work. I was just getting good at weighted pull ups and only want to get better. I am not going to let a pinky stall progress.

 

[ironpsych]

26 here. All together I've been training about 8 years; though only 2 have been dedicated to anything specific other than sports performance or general aesthetics. Unfortunately had a 3 year period where I did nothing due to an injury and opiate addiction. Last two years have been focused on powerlifting with the first year consisting of a lot of **** ups and lack of progress. This last year however I got my **** together and joined a real gym and found a group of people to help me dial in my training.
