Interesting topic Gardner, I was thinking the same thing the other day. I was wondering if there was any scientific evidence that being fit early in life will help your progress later in life, even if there are years in between where you're not in perfect shape. Is it easier to get back what you already had than to sculpt from scratch later in life?

For example, with me starting weight training at 33, will I be able to expect the same benefits/end results of someone that started much earlier? I'm definately in better "muscular" shape than I've ever been, but am wondering if it's realistic to think I could get the same place I might have been able to had I started 10-15 years ago??

Of course I'm all about starting new & expecting the best, no matter at what age!
