i actually started lifting when i was 10 yrs old or so cause the bigger kids where stealing my lunch money n pounding my ass, then as i got alittle bigger as the yrs went by i noticed it helped me alot in baseball,i loved baseball in my teens.then i started wrestling in high school n the lifting helped me out big time in that 2. it wasnt until i joined a good gym in north jersey in 82 that i really really got bit by the bodybuilding bug n it took over my life,other kids would be going out to parties on friday night n i would be lifting weights in my room waiting for the incredible hulk to come on :Di i miss those days,great memories for me.when u young guys get my age u to will remember your younger years n remember all the great times lifting weights and training with no injuries

train hard and train smart cause what u do now is gonna determine how long u last in this game,dont b a flash in the pan,better to be a low flame that just nevers burns out than to b a sensation for 3 yrs and then medical issues derail u
