I got into weight training a little more than 3 years ago and I'm older than many guys here being a middle aged handsome devil.
For me, the quicker I raised the weights I was lifting, more I got hurt. Now, I tend to make sure I can control what I'm lifting before I start adding more.
I may not be making the gains like some of the guys here but I look at this as a long term lifestyle where I will be lifting for the rest of my life or as long as physically possible.
It is surprising how long it took me to figure out how to lift with proper form. It sounds easy, but when you start pushing more weight it can all go to hell and that is when you get injured.
