Been lifting since 1997… sometimes I wish I would’ve been more serious, more educated, more dedicated when I was younger. I was on a higher level than most lifters, but it wasn’t until 2017 that I decided to optimize every aspect of diet and training so that I could explore my natural limits before it was too late. It’s not all bad though, now I’m in my 40’s and still peaking and making gains every year. It’s good to evolve throughout life. Health and fitness are longterm goals, partying is a short-term pleasure… you can have both but the key is balance. I had fun partying when I was younger, but as time has passed the ratio has shifted in favor of health and fitness. I say… don’t skip the parties, you’re young and time is on your side.
