Its funny now when i look and see all these younger kids trying to throw up massive amts of weigh as fast and hard as they can. slow controlled movements is where its at. only took me 10 yrs to figure that out lol.

Exactly. Slow controled movements with free weights is key. And after 9 years i'm just realizing how much I was neglecting legs and core. I was stuck at 190lbs for years and I started hitting legs hard and quickly gained 10lbs of muscle. Never too late to learn.
