I am new to the forum and everything it involves. I am 48 and have been in a rut for a while, not really consistent with training or diet. I was planning to start on some gear and hit the gym. Luckily I found this site before doing anything. I have been reading for a month, and finally joined. I now realize that I have a lot more to learn, and a lot of work to do before I use any gear. I am working now to get my strength up and bodyfat down. I probably won't be posting here, because I don't have a lot to offer at this point, but I wanted to do the introduction and say thanks for the information. It really does help people make smarter, more informed decisions.
