    Never too old to start lifting. I started last year at age 53.

    I did vector calculus just for fun.

    Also, physics, astronomy, linguistics and various languages. I'm also a sysadmin (no I won't fix your computer, dammit!:angry: )

    Thank you. I was looking for long socks for my first meet for deadlifts as you need to lift in a singlet, saw them and had to get them.

    old pictures, of me slightly fatter and making awful faces. Also tiny bar and no rack, because I'm squatting like no weight at all. We all gotta start somewhere. :wink:

    I'm in - its nice to know there are others! I did degree in computing and work for a software development company. In my spare time I can generally be found somewhere on the interwebs, playing a game, reading and writing fanfiction and picking things up and putting them down again at the gym!

    Total noob, still using dumbells and matrix machines because convenient (workplace gym), but will make transition to barbell and StrongLifts this year.

    *ETA: forgot to add my 'nerdcred'. Gotta full deck but will play this card first: I've watched every episode (>700) of Star Trek from all series (TOS thru ENT, including animated series) and 12 movies (haven't watch 2nd reboot movie yet). #TrekkerNerdsUnite :glasses:
