What age did you begin bodybuilding?

[Pekkerwood]

I guess an additional question would be at what time in the progression did "lifting weights" become "body building". It's still hard to consider myself a bodybuilder. I lifted to be better at sports and to get a scholarship, then lifted for the same reasons to keep it, and then it was just a habit.

I've lifted for 30 years. For the last 10 to 15, I put more emphasis on how it made me look, rather than strenghth.

I have been into bodybuilding since i was 20. I started out with the old cement weights like some others mentioned too. I actually was fat and began losing weight as i began lifting regularly. I started out at 245lbs and dropped down to a fit 185lbs within a year (terrible low-calorie diet w/o much protein). Then i obtained the knowledge needed to start piling on the lean muscle.....
