I know that you guys get a lot of teens who come into these forums, but I assure you that I am twenty-six. I lifted for a few years in high school and college, but quit doing so my junior year. I recently (November 2011) became serious about lifting again and this time I want to make sure that I do it right. Hopefully, I am smarter now than I was when I first started, and a part of that is seeking advice from those who know what they are doing and have had more experience than I have. That is why I turned to a San representative. I have looked into the reviews of the products San produces and they seem to be of quality. As an extension of San's commitment to provide quality products, I am certain that San only employees qualified, knowledgable representatives.
