What age did you start weight training?

[jzpowahz]

I did a session of bench press once a year from about 21-24

Actually started regularly when I was 26.

My parents never let me join a gym when I was in school (bones still growing, that old chestnut), so the day I finished school I joined a gym.

I did do a bit of stuff at home before that and I have a diary entry from when I was in year 3 when I had DOMS in my biceps from doing bicep curls with bricks haha.

Seriously, I've wanted to be like big and ripped since I was about 6 years old.

As many have mentioned already, I wish I knew back then what I knew now. I'd already be big and ripped!

I was in grade 10 so would have been 14 and skinny when my mum joined a gym and dragged me along. Trained for about 2 yrs either in the afternoon with her or in the morning with dad. Gym belonged Paul and Nathan Briggs' dad.

At Algester, TLS?

At Algester, TLS?

I think he moved it to Algester and started concentrating on Muay Thai while I was at uni. (circa 1992-4.)
When I started, (1988 yo) it was on the S-E corner of Beaudesert and Granard/Riawena Rds.
I was 3 months into a 1yr membership when he moved, and he wouldn't refund me pro-rata.

 

[MaxBrenner]

Heard similar stories about it back in the day. They seemed to have really good following.

That had to have sucked for you mate.

I was about 12 when I first started doing push ups, sit ups, pull ups, curls and DB presses.
