I was in rehabilitation from a knee surgery.

Everyone only trained legs (hahaa, what a great gym!!) But i wanted to train my upper body too.

Up until now i love leg training.  ;D

Brutally HARDCORE gym he must train at! Wow! Check out the covers of REDBOOK and COSMO and SELF hanging on the walls. Holy Schnikes...what an animal.

 Gayer than calling 'pancakes' 'flapjacks'.



 
 I started training a couple years after highschool. I played hockey during my highschool career and myself and lots of guys from the old team continued playing at different mens leagues, pick-up etc...

 So I started going to bally's with a hockey buddy of mine and I just fell in love with it. Awwwwwww...

pretty cool that you've achieved the goal of doubling your bodyweight.








Then you did it again.












Then one more time for good measure!

Remember that springthing like Arnold used to promote.  It was for your chest and you could do arms.  I bought one of those and figured out that a garage door spring was the same thing.  I made my own that were allot harder.  And I had one of those doorway chinup bars too.
