Did about a year regularly at the uni gym, when I lived nearby. Haven't been too serious/regular until recently. Getting back into it after spending time learning from this site.

I think spending that time at the Uni Gym when I was in my late teens has certainly helped my base strength, I'm happy with my progress so far.

Making progress, achieving goals I set my mind to. Practical strength, making the most of aesthetics to attract the opposite sex. Self respect.
