Post by: Tony Doherty on July 17, 2008, 07:36:46 PM: 13 - 14, I saw Arnold on a Current affairs show. I didn't know humans could look like that and I was a chubby kid.

It was life changing, not only did I join the local gym, I also decided that would be my job, competing, promoting, owning gyms.

Post by: Straw Man on July 17, 2008, 08:07:40 PM: cement weights, bench, door-jam chin up bar from ~ 5th grade to ~ 9th grade

I got an olympic weight set for christmas when I was 15 and built my own squat rack outside

and then I joined a gym ~ 15/16 (when I started to drive)

I've worked out in commercial gyms ever since and now I'm wishing I had a really good home gym

full circle I guess

My brother used to steal manhole
