I was around 19yo. Reading the gay magazines like muscle and fitness. My friend asked me if I was gay when he saw me reading them, and I was like "wtf is he on about..."
-
At about 7years old. I had a wallpaper of Arnold in my room. Not joking, I was impressed by male musculatures from a young age (no hormon :P ).

:-X

I realized pretty early that I had a thing for "fit" :P women (no shmoemo), so I had to go to their natural habitat: the gym. Once there, I thought that I might as well keep busy and I simultaneously realized that they seemed to like a more muscular man. One thing led to another and here I am 30+ years later.

Loved Arnie as a kid and always had an interest in muscular, strong men (no homo) from a admiration standpoint.
In terms of pro-BB, I only took an interest in it when I was around 18.
-
Started weights and wanting to be bigger when I was 14 but the likes of Arnold or some of the blokes on the wrestling were the inspiration, never followed pro bodybuilding till I was 16 or so

Ahh, the "Golden Age" where women dug muscles with abandon.
Now it's all about the metro-, lunberjack-, beta-sexual twinks.
If women express interest in muscle, they do it in complete anonymity or privacy.

I got caught in the bodybuilding cult when I was just a young lad and I learned that Basile did not have his blue stars ever since. I have been fighting to promote this issue ever since.

16ish. Would have my buddy put the monopoly game on hold so I could go home, eat and come back to continue. hahaha...

Hercules deceived me - didn't know that the actors were all different... Park, Ferdingo, etc.

I've always admired muscular heroes since I was a young boy, growing up with Arnold and Sly movies, He-Man, Superheroes, etc. But I bought my first Musclemag at 16 years old I think. I used lifting weights as a

I joined GetBig about a month ago... so since about a month ago

The 1983 movie DC Cab with the Barbarian Brothers is what got me into regular training 4x/week

19 when Pumping Iron came out. I pretty much became obsessed and wanted to become a man standing on stage in a thong.

It was around the same time for me and I was 18 in 1977.
I trained as a bodybuilder for a year and then entered my 1st show back in 1978.
I thought I had a real shot to win the teen div ( age 19) until I arrived and saw the competition LOL.

Same for me. I would be on the computer looking at pics of these great athletes and my roommate would be like that's gay and I was just like ::)
Now I realize how truly gay it was :-\

1986
I was 12 going on 13. Fell in love with it.

First it was action movies with martial artists like Van Damme and actions stars like Sly and Arnold.
That lead into gym training at the tender age of 14 around 1998. I downloaded and saw Pumping Iron when the internet made everything easy accessible.
I started noticing Ronnie in magazines of a friend around 2000, the new Mr O at that time. Thought he was way too big, but still intruiging to see him train. Remember thinking his arms were similar to Arnolds, with the peaks.

Around 14-15.

Grew up watching Arnie films. There was no Internet and I didn't give a shit about magazines, so the closest thing for me was those and watching WSM each year.
It was like discovering a whole new Arnie when I learnt about his pre Hollywood life (a little homo).
I started really noticing pro bodybuilding... probably when I was about 20.

I started readin' da muscle books in high school.
This guy was my favorite. I even bought one of those tanks:

I trained for a year until i even bought a mag. Then i was hooked on them. I could remember articles i read word for word and not remember jack shit at school. Best thing though training gave me the discipline and drive, school really is a waste of time once you hit the real world, despite me going and getting a degree.

Started going to the gym regularly when I was 20 after a bad breakup. Realized that after 2.5yrs of being in a relationship I've let myself go really badly and wanted to make myself feel better by pulling some rebound pussy. About 4 months in I saw my first MD at a grocery store and decided to take a look. Saw Jay Cutler and for whatever reason his physique really resonated with me. Probably cause he's a blocky white guy like myself (except like 5X bigger haha). Unlike most people Arnold never really inspired me to workout or train for bodybuilding, it was Cutler.

I got (read: borrow) my 1st dumbbell from Mr.Universe place at 12 :D
