My first experience with weights was learning olympic style weightlifting  (clean & jerk / snatch).  I was 12-13 and weighed 50 - 55 kg and eventually competed in a few local shows.

My first experience was walking pass a gym with all the buff men working out, I felt something lifting in my pants and right then I knew I had what it takes to be a bodybuilder.

1977... Dad had a York set and a Jubinville bench... Set up my basement gym for me with that stuff. (I was 11).
I had my cassette player radio with Sabbath Paranoid album.

Pics of Platz and Bertil on the wall... Home made pully stuff on the ceiling for back, triceps...

37 years later I'm on Getbig... Like Joe Castig says "can you believe it" !!

Going to the video store with my dad and looking at the sports VHS tapes when I was around 11. I gravitated to the Mr Olympia videos. This was the early mid 90s and at a young age I knew nothing about bodybuilding but the two bodybuilders on the cover that were most impressive to me were Dorian Yates and Kevin Levrone.

Around 14 years old - the early time is the best.
After a few chest workouts I had manboobs - swelling, water and some muscle. The juvenile body even responds to higher protein diet with visible results.

at 8 years old my dad got me a golden triumph 70 lb billard set. all the neighborhood kids came over . i was the first one to lift the whole stack overhead gave  me a sense of accomplishment. 55 years later my dad is gone but i still have that billard set and the manual that came with it. every time i look at it  reminds me of him and better times.the  set with 4 ft bar can be seen  with the other barbells.
