I asked my parents for some weights when i was like 12, my dad bought me those rubber weights that you carry while you jog, i said "Pop what the hell is this" he gave me this lecture on stunting my growth and bla bla bla. So i decided to become a Mgivre lifter, i filled my back pack up with a bunch of bs and did bicep curls all day. Finally when i was 14 my parents gave me my first gym membership to a golds gym that was walking distance from my house, the rest is history
