I was very skinny(110+lbs when i was a sophmore in high school) and wanted to get bigger,stronger,and tougher so i started weightlifting and i couldn't even lift the bar! especially on the incline bench, i couldn't even hold the bar on my chest without it sliding down and smashing my junk! Plus i was a terrible runner since i started in 8th grade until my senior year.
Why I Love It:
I love the MUSCLE PUMP and watching the number of plates on the bar increase, and knowing its making me bigger/stronger/healthy. plus i luv running.
How I Stay Motivated:
Remember steve prefontaine in running and remember people need a strong-man for help. i listen to my ipod while i workout and get pumped up.
BB Accomplishments:
When i was a freshmen and sophmore 05/06 and 06/07 my weight was 100 lbs then 115 lbs and couldn't lift the bar, at end of high school 2008/2009 i weigh 141 of lean muscle and my max bench is 190, squat is 210 and romanian-deadlift was 270. Plus i was a terrible runner since i started in 8th grade(mostly last) until 08/09 now i started running during summer and winter break, now i'm earning golds in track & field!
I used to be really skinny too, about 115 lbs sophmore year H.S and couldn't bench press the bar when i started. But now after my senior year my weight is 148 lbs. of muscle and earned golds in Track & Field races, and ofcourse lift heavy iron now too =)
*The home workout part of this program is from my P90X fitness DVD.
First I do a light 5 minute warmup (jog-in-place, jumping jaks, and other stuff)(enough to start sweating and get cardiovascular system and heart-rate going) and then do upperbody or lowerbody stretch depending on what section...
