x2.
Also my dad was an ex-athlete so it was easy to suggest if we could go to the gym together. Initial reason was that I wanted to be stronger on the push ups. ;D
-
I wanted to be pro... FLEX magazines of my father inspired me ;D
Years later I realized my genetics and gave up the dream. At good time as I didn't have caused too much damage to my body yet at that point.

my older brother didnt want to go to the gym alone, he was scared of other people in there, so he took me with him and when he quit i stuck with it. Allowed me to channel my anger and energy when i was a teen. Helped a lot to date /find / seduce the good woman. Since then i lost interest in being the most muscular man who ever walked on earth and focus on more fulfiling things. Learned that 99% of what makes the bodybuilding/weightlifting/fitness "world" is about pure bullshits , narcistic immature uneducated assholes and fags with troubled relations with their parents.
Stopped taking supps after i understood the way steroids worked and how the people i stupidly wanted to look like managed to look that good pretending to do the stuff i was doing.
Basically i grew up.
I still keep lifting 3 / 4 hours a week, doing the basics for arms, chest, abs, quads, only for my girl to enjoy my body when we have sex. I often showed off my muscles when i was younger, trying to impress, prove things to other men because i was insecure about my education and job position, nowadays i mostly hide them cause i dont want the attention. Surprisingly people are a lot more respectful toward me as a result and after some time always ask me how i got that "muscular" -when im absolutely not , i look like mark wahlberg when he s off steroids-. Training naturally for years is largely enough to be in better shape/healthier than most people and gives your body a tough, washed up yet impressive tone that most people wish they had. No need to be a steroided pile of water and fat that makes everyone figure in the second you re just a moron with a little dick/no education/got bullied when a kid with nothing else much.
Lots of shitty stuff related to lifting weights. So many suckers who think they re the new arnold because they got a pump in their biceps, and that they re better than everyone else just because dopamine and serotonine in their brain are at high level due to the physical effort they just produced. After some years -decades for others who are a bit slower in the head- you keep what's good and ignore all the other bullshits who make you more miserable than anything in the long run.

My father, i always remember him being so big ( he was about 270 pounds most of the time )
he brought BB to home with his heavy amounts of food, the old Ironman magazines, and always had looks and comments from people around, so since 8yo i knew that i gonna end up lifting and getting big.

I was at the beach when this guy kicked sand in my face and stole my gal, I started lifting right after I hunted him down and shot him.

I started lifting because Mexican gangsters were fucking with me. They jumped me because I was hanging out with their rival gang, and they saw me wearing a red flannel shirt one day so they thought I was claiming red. But I wasn't a gang member, I was just hanging out with them because they lived on my block and I would buy weed and drugs off them.
They would try to catch me slipping alone, then they'd push me around and punk me. Pussies. It was always 6 on 1, or 8 on 1. Never 1 on 1 like a real man.
So I lifted hard and learned some fighting. Full of anger and the urge to get revenge.
Then I went back and beat the shit out of a couple of them. Also shot one of them with a pellet gun, sent him to the hospital. I also got some gangsters to back me up later and we jumped them, and it all came to an end quick.
Karma got those guys. They're either dead, in prison, or junkies.

I grew up near Oakland Cali in the 90's when gangs were out of control there. Half the people in my high school were gang members.
I saw a lot of crazy shit. No bullshit there.
I mostly hung out with the punk rockers and hippie and stayed away from the gang scene. But you can't totally stay away from it.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Was always big and strong. Wanted to be bigger and stronger. Tried it, got gains quickly and enjoyed it. Kept at it.

I used to get picked on, sometimes very badly.
At 14 I weighed 110lbs at 5ft7
On my 14th birthday my step dad bought me a cheap weider weight bench/set. I didn't do much with it at first, and could not bench the 30lb bar for more than a few reps.
Then, on a family trip to pismo beach, I bought a copy of Muscle and Fitness. It was the one with this dude on the cover holding some gold dumbells and inside was an article by Andres Munzer on triceps training and some other things.
I read the thing cover to cover 100 times and when I got home I began to attack the weights. I bought every magazine I could (flex and m&f, musclemag) and began to emulate (of course) Dorian Yates.
I kicked ass, by the time I turned 16 my weight matched my age every year. At 16 I was 160lbs 17 170 18 180 then at 19 I hit 200. At 22 I got over 240 and a brief stint at 250 (not more than a few weeks)
Bodybuilding was always good to me, my body was always very good to me. I do not regret anything.

Geek not really. I played baseball for years and years, about it.
When I was 13-14, I used to wear the baggiest baseball pants I could because my legs were so fucking thin. I am not lying here- I had the body of a girl most of my young life.
Shit changed as a teenager thankfully ;D

My mate used to go and I was never interested until he got me a month free guest pass thing. Went along for the hell of it and was hooked after a week. Been hooked for 15 years now. Used to train for a sculpted body, now I train for power.

2 things :
1) Seeing bb'ing on ESPN for the first when I was a kid. I remember asking my father, " What are they ?? " I remember him saying in a lisp ( he's not gay, btw ), " They're bodybuilders ". He was obviously hinting that any man that steps on stage, oiled up in a pair of posing trunks is a homo. Lol ! * sigh * Love ya, Dad. Lol.
2) Superhero comic books !!!! ALWAYS ( and still do ) wanted to look like a superhero !! Fyi, my fav. superhero is Black Adam. ;)

What got me into lifting? having body dysmorphia/muscle dysmorphia.
