I played football my freshmen year in high school, and that's pretty much what got me started. Back then (aka last year) I was around 120 lbs.... pretty damn skinny. Now I'm still pretty skinny but I can certainly see my gains and improvement in strength.

After doing a full-body split... maximizing it's effectiveness... and looking exactly the same for an entire year of doing it, I decided I'd plateued, and I had to hit the weights.

self-confidence, looks, strength, ladies, power.
Anyone who says they do it purely to get strong and not for appearence are lying and should, if that was the case, be powerlifting.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

gives me something to work for...
ive never really been pushed in school, im not playing hockey this year, community soccers a breeze, so its just a way of pushing myself, so i have a goal to work for. so personal reasons mainly.
but it also feels damn good at the gym when you have to explain to some jealous bystander that youre only 15, ahah im sure alot of you know what im talking. so i guess its partly ego/self confidence reasons too.

You started at the same weight and height as me, and currently I am 5'8" and 145 pounds, same as you. Except my body fat is around 10-11% (currently bulking). Cool stuff.Originally Posted by Reeve
I never really realized how skinny I was until some people started calling me scrawny. That pissed me off, so I thought I would prove them wrong.
Even though I am not big yet I have a lot more confidence than I did before.Last edited by SpliffSmoker; 02-06-2005 at 05:00 PM.
