I hated sucking in PE so I started doing push-ups and sit-ups. Did that for over a year and then I picked up CrossFit.
SAM and FRODO tie up GOLLUM.
GOLLUM: No! Smeagol not into ropes, nassty kinky hobbitses.
FRODO: We just want you to take us to Mordor, you sicko.
GOLLUM: Mordor? Hobbitses having little Goth phase, maybe? Very angsssty, wanting to go to Mordor, yes yes. Can Smeagol offer black eyeliner to angsssty hobbitses?
SAM: You stop talking to Mr.--hmm. (to FRODO) You know, you wouldn't look half bad in eyeliner.

I started last year as a junior in high school. Due to my status as a part time university student, I was allowed to use the campus gym.
I'd always wanted to weight train, anyway. I found this site and started learning.

I started when I was 17 just messin around. Got a bench and lat tower, ****ed around with it for a few months and left it for a while. Around my 18th birthday me and my buddies moved the bench into a spare room at my house and started WBB 1. I got hooked and ever since I have been lifting.

I first stepped foot in the gym my senior year of high school, ~6 years ago. I didn't have a clue what I was doing until about 3 years ago, when I joined WBB.

I first lifted when I was 14. The girlscouts could out lift me. I graduated HS at 6' 160ish. The last 3 years I finally found how to lift smarter and I am currently 222lbs gaining to 235. I have not lifted since thursday and I am freaking out, tommorrow I will finally be able to resume therapy.

Started at 13, I was the only kid in the class who moved that bar and 2 plates, hooked since then.
Only been properly lifting on BIll Starr with more compounds for about 6 months.Being a strong teenager means nothing.
My wrists hurt, but some people don't have wrists to be sore. My knees have tendinitis, but some people don't have legs to get tendinitis in. I seem to be going backwards with training, yet some people can't even walk let alone lift 400 pounds on a daily basis.
Dust out the vagina, and keep on lifting.

Fed up being the skinniest and weakest kid in the class.
Wanted to look more sexy when naked and improve my physical health.
Not to bothered about being intimidatingly big (not tall enough to pull that off anyway.)
I train for asthetics only but want to keep my general fitness up. Strength is a pure secondary benefit but I would do 100 reps with the pink dumbells if it would make me gain more muscle.

Hahahahaha.... I had a similar situation.

Now I just lift for myself. It's great setting goals and making them.
I had lifted before, but this is pretty much when I got serious.Last edited by Chris686; 12-25-2006 at 09:39 PM.

when i was a sophomore in high school (14)
to get stronger why else???!?!?!!!?
but also to become a better athlete/throwerWay down this road, in a gym far away, a young man was once heard to say, "I've repped high and I've repped low, No matter what I do my legs won't grow."
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses, too. Trying to cheat these sissy workouts he'd do. From the corner of the gym where the big men train, Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain.
Where the big iron rides high and threatens lives, Where the noise is made with big forty fives. A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees, A very big man with legs like trees.
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack, Chalking his hands and monstrous back, Said "Boy stop lying and don't say you've forgotten, Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN"

Um.. must have bee a good friend Nick.
I got my revenge on the people that had it coming... it was sweet.Being a strong teenager means nothing.
