You remember what your first workouts looked like?
« on: July 19, 2008, 10:38:04 PM »
  Mine were cheat curls(we're talking really cheating) and shoulder presses with Orbitron weights in my bedroom.  This slowly evolved into something more sophisticated in my basement as my collection of equipment grew over the years.

My old man had weights in the garage.
My work outs were bench press and curls  :)

yea i just bench pressed with my back arched like you wouldnt believe pouding out 25's on each side for sets of six lol.

I was in 8th grade.

It took me about 4 or 5 years to start training my legs and all i did in the beginning was chest, arms, and a bit of shoulders and back. Boy was i misguided

Dumbbell curls 3 times per week.  If I was feeling abit wild I'd also throw in some lateral raises  :-\

Boy that brings back memories. My brother had a set of those plastic covered concrete weights sold at department stores. I remember doing a barbell curl with I think 40 pounds on it. I had to cheat to get one rep. But I was so proud of myself. I think I was about 12 years old then.

Haha - I started at 40lb barbell curls too! I also loved the pec deck and all my chest workouts had that exercise as the core of it! It was pretty much all chest and biceps back in those days with a bit of leg extensions thrown in for good measure.

I had 1 DB (not a pair, just 1) so i did curls, some kind of tricep exercise and 1 arm DB rows (i thought they were an arm exercise)  ;D
No doubt about it...
