About 36 years but my "road to greatness" is highly debatable.

I started training 3 times a week with football buddies, joined a real gym when the first one opened in my area a year later.

That was like my first set of weights........"Golden Pro" from Sears.

46 years for me.........but I actually missed around 11 years total due to being drunk and stupid.

EDIT: My first set was fucking vinyl.   :(

haven't started yet, I heard you grow when you rest so for now I am trying to do as much as that as possible. So far lots of growth but in all the wrong places, then again I heard that fat can turn into muscle so I am hoping for that to happen one day.

Arms are legit 24inchs

In 9th grade, saw a kid in gym sitting cross legged, and his legs were so skinny I thought it looked horrible.  Then I sat in front of a mirror and was horrified that I looked the exact same.

Started lifting after that.































4 years after that, started working legs.

Was cleaning out my Dad's house up in NH a month ago, and threw out some of that same type stuff - those adjustable dumbbells with screw on collar over 40 years old, bench, etc....

There was a guy in my neighborhood named Chris Gordon........looked like a super-hero,and he`s in Pumping Iron.

I joined the local YMCA where I saw future IFBB champ Dave Mastorakis who trained with the Mentzer brothers and I knew I had to add some weight to my whopping 98 pound frame!   :D
