I'le be honest, the first time i ever thought about it was when i was watching a cartoon called conan the adventurer lol, shortly after that i started to train abit but i knew absolulty nothing about training, had some dumbells that went up to 25lbs that was it (i was like 10 years old). Later i discovered Flex magazine and then i learned the basics about training and nutrition (11-12 years old at this point wierd too be so young and read Flex i know) after about a year of training at like 14 years old i stopped, realising that the pros were on juice and i didn't like the slow rate that the gains came and i had other interests in life.
Though i must say, i still have stretch marks around my arm pit and towards my bicep from training soo young and i was pretty much the strongest in school.
Now i'm 18 and been training again since i was 16 years old and decided just to get the best physique i can naturally.
First ever inspiration (practically every charecter is 300lbs with abs apart from Conan who is probly 350lbs with abs.. talk about giving kids unrealistic expectations : D j.k)

no real main events but i just turned 23 and started traing just before i was 18 with 3 serious breaks in training 2 due to illness and one injury

My grandmother got me into it when I was 12 or 13.
Seriously
-
I was even fatter and more disgusting than I am now...I had to fight my horrible genetics but I knew I would lose...
-
My gf abandoned me so i started lifting again after years (at 17) -previously i did like 2 months a year bs training-. Pretty pathetic isn't it?
soonly after that guys in my gym saw me "in training" and told me i had good genetics and stuff like that. I was like "yea right" ::). then i began buying bb magazines and slowly i started to love the sport and see it more "competitive" until i did my 1st show, from then i consider myself a bodybuilder.

with ten denoting the worst possible disgust, how disgusting on a scale of 1-10 would you say you are?

I WAS 15 AND WAS ON A TRIP TO MONTANA, BORED AS FUCK IN THE BACK SEAT OF OUT FAMILY TRUCK...STOPPED FOR GAS AND FOOD AND I SAW THE MAGAZINE.... DONT KNOW WHY BUT I ASKED MY PARENTS TO GET IT FOR ME... I STARTED READING IT... I REMEMBER BEING AMAZED AT WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE.. I SPECIFCALLY REMEMBER SHOWING MY MOM AND DAD PICTURES OF BRANCH WARREN AND BEING LIKE "HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!?? IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS WEARING FOOTBALL PADS UNDER HIS SKIN!!!" AND THEN THAT NIGTH I STARTED LIFTING. I DIDNT HAVE WEIGHTS WITH US BUT I USED WHATEVER I COULD FIND. WHEN I GOT HOME I STOLE MY BORTHERS GYM PASS HE NEVER USED AND STARTED WORKIGN OUT EVERYDAY. SINCE THEN IVE NEVER HAD ANY BREAKS, ALWAYS 24/7 THINKING ABOUT LIFTING AND EATING.

I gave up smoking 30 Marlboro reds a day and took up eating...so needed to get more active.
Plus I saw Fight Club and thought Brad looked good - embarrasing but true. Probably responsible for getting millions of guys working out. Funny thing is that when I watched the film he looked massive, now I watch it and my judgement of muscularity has completely changed.

Believe it or not, not Arnold or Lou Ferrigno
but seeing Vasily Alexiev (sp) on TV in early to mid 70's...got me interested in/attuned to strength...then got one of those 110 lb vinyl sets...use it to this day

My uncle used to take me to the field house to lift weights the summer before his senior year when I was like 7 years old.
He was always one of the strongest dudes on the team and as a young fella you look up to guys like that in your family.
Of course, I didn't start lifting til a few years later, but looking back that was probably the first seed that was laid.
I had another Uncle that started lifting when he was a young teen and still does (he is like 49 now, looks great). He always had a pretty decent home gym set up. Usually a converted shed that contained a bench, squat stands (not the power rack), a few different shaped barbells and a loadable dumbbell handles, and probably around 800 lbs or so of weights.
I guess when I was about 12 or so, I asked him if I could borrow some of his weights and he said yes. So for the next couple days I would bike the 2 miles to his house and load up my back pack with some plates (I already had a bench and bar) and bike back until I had about 150 pounds or so......went back home and started busting out curls with the little standard bar and a couple piss small "screw on" plates on the side.

I was a big fat kid at 17 or so(220 at 20-25% bodyfat). Tried the standard aerobics, dieting thing to drop weight, that didn't work. So one day I was spotting my friend while he went thought his standard lifting routine, tried out a few lifts, decided I liked it.
A few days later, I traded into a stack of Muscle Media 2000's he had collecting dust..... 12 years later, here I am.

i was in 8th grade and the seniors that got all the pussy were this swedish guy Bjorn Bjorensteen who used to work out with Stephen Boyd who was also a senior at my high school at that point. I was on JV and they were Varsity so we had to do the shit work like putting the pads on the line sled and setup the drill equipment. Anyways I wanted to be like them because they were fuckin massive and got all the pussy.
