Yeah, I was pretty into lifting and also took the Personal Trainer course, so I know a lot about it. I just didn't have time, or motivation to make time after I got out of the Army a while back. But now I have a "project" (my wife's cousin) so I am going to the gym with him and trying to make him HUGE.. lol
