My youth minister and his friends 1978 i could bench 55lbs. He would yank off the three plates on each side he had on the bar and then put the big nickle on there and id strain to press up for my five reps.

My older bro was at least 50 pounds heavier than me and had three years on me. I hated getting my ass kicked and I am extremly competitive. So I decided to hit the gym, decovered creatine and protein shakes and over about a year I put on quite a bit of muscle...mind you I was still in my teens and growing at the time. I then became a hard fight for my older bro because I overpowered him and beat him a few times...my younger bro would hide in the basement during these action packed fights because we shook the house and really went at it a few times...my younger bro used to be scared shitless of us. Now its no prob for me to take the older bro....which I don't like to say in public at all...He's in the army and I am in the airforce ( snicker, he he)

[IronReload04]

my hs football coach was a dick........only the biggest played......you might be able to read an offensive line better, but the other guy played if he was bigger........(i was the other guy who played because i was bigger heheheheh)

fortunately for me, i got addicted to the gains

[goodcents]

P u s s y I think it got alot of people started and then they found out it was fun (the p u s s y and working out) " I did it all for the nucky"

[PEWN]

i did it to get hotties... but... so far no luck...

[AandF6969]

I was tired of being a little bitch in high school. Started researching training and diet, and saw the results (both in the mirror and w/ females).. THAT is what makes it all worth it... bitches all up on your nuts.

[Ejuicer]

I was always a bigger kid and used to play football throughout high school. I played around with weights in my first year because of it but I also got tired of being made fun of for being quite fat and not being able to meet girls so I lost about 65lbs during the summer through some extremely unhealthy methods. Once I came back to school I pissed off my football coaches from the weight loss and started getting more serious about weight training to put size back on again. That's pretty much the story of how my obsession began...

[Titan 3]

Mama said foosball is the devil!! (waterboy) j/k But I played.

My older brother use to beat me up. Now i can woop his @$$

[dedic8ed1]

I like getting the feeling of acheivment through training and diet,when you see your body change into something impressive it's a great feeling.But back in the day my friends brothers were in the BB game pretty heavy and they inspired me.

[taiboxa]

the hope.. the desier .. the wishfullness of to one day.. be able to sport SHORT SHORTS and make em look GOOD

[dupa95]

i saw a muscle & fitness mag.

[buffgator]

I have always since a young age loved big things. Dump trucks, Arnold in the movies, semi trucks, gorillas, ect. When I was 14 I did not want to take p.e. because I did not enjoy playing sports. I signed up for weights class and two things happened. First I got pumps that where tighter than anything that I have ever has since, and I loved it. Also I went from like 120 to 150 in like 6 months.

[ecto9]

To look good, feel good 1st off. To combat the effects of aging. It makes a tremendous difference. Ppl are always forgetting how old I am!

[BG]

Had back problems in 7th grade, they wanted me to wear a brace to school, thats why my back is pretty big. One summer of swimming and training it was straightened out.

[number twelve]

football. but then i got addicted to the high it gave me, and then getting the girls are a nice side too

[gixxerboy1]

Wrestling and vagina. And wrestling vagina

[taiboxa]

how do u pen something w/ a HOLE in it?!

[Prada]

I got involved pretty much the same issues as this guy. I felt a change in attitude in way people communicated with me and approached me.

I have been working intensively over the past several months. However I notice there is change in the way walk. I'm getting attention that's not there before. I think people are percive me as violent person or like a violent person? But at the same I could see they respect because they fear I may break their neck.
Has that ever happen to you? how did u adjust to person who u were?

[Hoggage_54]

I was 6'4", 150lbs, 15 years old. Being skinny was not cutting it anymore.

[taiboxa]

ouch...

[scriptfactory]

I was tired of being skinny so I started training. Then I got fat and was tired of being fat so I started eating properly.

[Hoggage_54]

ouch...

I know, I have skinny white boy genetics. If I don't hit the gym, I go skinny in a hurry.

On a positive note, I graduated around 230lbs gained (mostly) naturally.

[IronReload04]

encino man, the movie, came out in 92........that puts me at about 6 or 7 years old at the timez? 21 now

and after watching this movie, being this young, i came to the realization that i cant grow up pussies like the main characters (rudy and pauly shore).....being anytihng less than a muscle bound freak was just unacceptable


i can even remember being like 3 or 4 and watching arnold movies like commando, anything less than being huge and jacked was just unacceptable, i knew even back then



then that went away for a long time, and awoke in hs football

[Sir Lifts-a-lot]

Dont flame me or I will piss on your shoe, but I did it cause I wanted to look like the guys in the boy bands... They seemed to be fit and getting the pus$y at the time... Now, we find out half were gay, and the other half was, wait, gay as well.
