Some time on and off, but two years of "proper" lifting, but still learning

Started in the late 1960's. Boy have things changed many, many times over the years. Yet I still find myself going back to the tried and true things that remain "classics" in the strictest sense.

Lifted during my last two years of high school.
Stopped when I got married and had kids.
Have been lifting consistently for the last 12 years.
I love it so much that I made it my profession.

I started doing keg lifts and draft curls in college. but it wasn't until many, many years later (sadly) that I put down the kegs and drafts and picked up the barbell/dumbbells. I would say for the last three years I have been lifting. some months more seriously than other months.

Been lifting on and off since I was about 15. Which would be almost 6 years. It may not look like it because I was clueless the first 4 years, lol, but I've taken some good steps the last 2 years.

I remember being in high school and starting weight training for the b-ball team. Everys ince then in each period of my life I have lifted. Only a few years ago did I finally figure it out and actually "get it". I am 36, that day in high school was 20 years ago.

I have lifted for almost 5 years. I consider myself fortunate in that most of those 5 years were productive, since I sought out my information and routines from some of the best in the field.
