What made you start liftin'?

[68GT350]

I started because my fiance slept around on me, not once but twice with two different guys who were obviously in better shape than me.

My self-esteem and will to live left me but I found new life in lifting and leave the gym every day with a renewed sense of well being.

Step father was a fuckhead......I was young and little - he was big as well as fat.

I trained my arse off as a teenager...now I'm big and he is a weed to me.

The day came where the training all paid off.......

Now it comes down to looking and feeling GREAT

Body dysmorphia dudes....I strongly believe that one's self image is set in adolescence. If you're Joe Stud in highschool, you will still think you are God's gift to women when you are 30 fat bald and working in a gas station. If you are a little shit who gets your ass kicked in highschool, you will still feel like a little shit when you are 30, lean covered in muscle and in the best shape of your life. I weigh 65 pounds more than I did when I graduated from highschool and I am leaner...I know with my head how I stack up against other dudes, but I still feel insecure on the inside...it makes me work harder.

My dad bought me a weight set for my 12th birthday. I guess he didn't want me to be tall and skinny like the rest of my family. EXAMPLE: My brother is 6'4"/155lbs.

I am the runt at 6'2". But I get 'um all in gerth LOL!

~BigBob 238lbs and growing.

I was anorexic for many years and wanted some shape to my body.... Got hooked and now I can't stand to be weak! I enjoy the feeling of being strong... now I have a shape that I love!!!

Watching my Father work out when I was real young.

Building upper body strength for wrestling at 15.

Getting back into shape after high school.

Kinda sticks with yah. Can't kick that rush you get from a new top lift or a good over all workout. Feeling better and looking better.
