I started late, that's from just 2 months of lifting and eating right, gaining 30lbs at same time.
Thanks for the advice man
Very good results just for 2 months btw. Just think where you'll be in 12 months

The invention of the camera also goes a long way.
I say these words out of jealousy and with annoyance at non-instantaneous results.
I agree, in the modern age we don't need excess muscle, besides, gaining muscle from lifting weights is un-natural. But I think it's more than just to "impress, express, bench press, and undress". To me weightlifting is a hobby, a way to relate to other people (like in this thread =] ), I believe it's made me a more confident person, and I love the fact that this is a hobby that results in noticable physical and psychological difference, big muscles and a "runners high"
You gotta just stick with it man, never give up, strive to achieve no matter how dire it may seem. You'll get there with effort and determination.
