What Got You Started?

There are a few things that got me started. I got started around my junior year of highschool, I was always smaller than everyone else and just wanted to pack on some size for my height. Over the years bodybuilding became something more to me than just a hobby. It was something I did to relieve stress and set goals for myself. I really cant pinpoint what got me started....it was like a calling for me...lol. Like I was made to workout.
 
I was a fat slob and could not stand to look at myself. I said this shit has gotta change...LOL
that was over 7 yrs ago, maybe 8, I lost track. I absolutely love it
 
i was a skiny kid with alota potential....when i started it was all sport related....i went away 2 school & figured out all the diet, trainin etc....& blew up:)

c it was soccer 4 me bro....my 10th grade year i went 2 a camp with a bunch of pros that just changed my life....1 of the best things ive ever did


....then after a year, i did nothin but research everythin, so i could try 2 b the best i could b....then the rest is history :)
 
I used to be a fat slob too...and I hated myself. After having knee surgery 5 years ago, I kinda hit rock bottom and knew I had to do something. I dropped a ton of weight, and discovered that bodybuilding was something I was passionately interested in. One of the trainers at the first gym I belonged to told me that I am "genetically gifted" to be a bodybuilder- I have never forgotten that. That was when I decided that I would try competing.
 
I was always into sports of some kind. Always in shape,but no size. Started lifting in 10th grade and it's been on/off at first. Now I lift and do Martial Arts ... good combo. I just wish I had more time for all of this.

YOU NEED topost them old pics bro!
 
I always wanted to be bigger, stronger than the other person..I am also a bit vain in regards to my looks.. I wanted to walk into a building and see people stare at me and say,..man he's a big muther....
 
I used to drink and smoke alot and i got sick of living that lifestyle. So i decided to get my butt into shape.
 
(I know this seems cliche, but...) I became interested in bodybuilding about 2 years ago. I was out of school for about 2 weeks because the medication for my epilepsy was all screwed up, and I didnt do anything all day long. I laid on the sofa, ate once every other day or so (then threw it up), didnt move, and did very little. I was then flipping through the channels when i saw someone doing squats with tons of weight. I was amazed, even though i had no idea who it was, or what i was watching. I checked the tv guide, and it was an arnie movie (with lou ferrigno). It was "Pumping Iron". I then began to watch. I watched as he began to prepare for the contest, and did his training. I was a little interested. Shortly after, he was doing the contest posing, and it was right then that i knew that was what i wanted to do. Before this point, i played some sports, ate anything, and generally didnt care much becuase i am an ectomorph and decently thin. I then realized that i was way too thin. I was 15 years old, and about 100lbs. But when i saw what arnie looked like, i knew that i wanted to look like that, and i was (and still am) willing to do whatever is neccessary for me to reach that goal.
