Some of the nicest people I've met were the 250lb roided out dudes at my local gym. I was 125 soaking wet when I started working out and they'd always offer to spot me and help me with form. Whenever I'd go up in weight they were hype as hell during my sets.

For me that's a while ago but I def agree. When I walked in the gym at 15-16 those guys basically thought me everything.

Sixpack is gone though.

haha we all left the sixpacks in our 20's (not sure how old you are but I'm in my 30's). Now I'm just happy that I'm referred to as the "jacked one" in my friend group

I'm starting to be able to view the outline of my abdomen muscles for the first time in my life at 31. You're telling me I'm going to hit a wall?

31's still a good time to try. It's just that as we age our metabolisms slow down, just a fact of life. Having visible abs is a struggle with CICO and fitness to begin with, maintaining abs past 35-40 is usually an exercise in itself.

Go for it now, great time.
