At what age did everyone start training?

[Vale Tudo]

I started my sophmore year in highschool, so that would make me 15-16 i guess. Butt hen from the ages of 18-21 I never really took it serious again, but now I am back in it and working harder than ever. I am 21 now. I am just curious to see how old people were when they staryted and how long they have been going, thanks

[Scotty the Body]

I started at 14, off and on between 22 and 28 and have been going strong for almost 4 years now.
I didn't know shit till I started surfing forums like this one a few years ago.

[Mudge]

I was 11, wasn't able to get my hands on alot of books at the time though I wanted a weight set when I was in 3rd grade, but my dad was not as excited about it at the time. One of my friends dad was a bodybuilder, and our barber was a national competitor as was his wife, so I had early exposure to "freaks".

I trained on and off throughout highschool but started to get serious around my 21st bday.

 

[TriZZle305]

i was exposed at times from 12-14 but didnt start training regularly until about 2-3 months ago

 

[Stickboy]

I started training seriously at the beginning of the year. Before that, I was mostly into MTBing and considered that my hobby/exercise. Other than being sidelined due to foot surgery (to repair something I damaged MTBing) for a couple of months I'm back to the iron.

Oh, 36 YO here.

[hurtyhair4u]

I'd say i started in junior high trying to be like my older brother but really didn't get serious until i turned 21 and started hitting the bar scene . I'm 28 now . There have been times of long layoffs in between .

 

[ponyboy]

I trained in university but not consistently. I guess my first foray into a gym was about 6 years ago. When I decided I wanted to do this for a living it was about 2.5 years ago and I've been training seriously ever since (minor layoffs due to injury sometimes).
