When I was a baby, My parents noticed that I wasn’t walking and that is despite been an extremely active (My mother would use “troublesome”) baby. I only started walking when I was 20 months old. When I start walking though, My parents noticed that I was not walking straight. I used to walk on the side of my feet. They took me to a doctor who told them that I have a flat feet. To make things worse I’m one of the few people who fleet actually cause them pain and discomfort. Despite this I'm a life time athlete (or used to be anyway). Ever since I was tiny I used to seek outdoors. When I was little older I developed a crush for soccer. I remember that I used to participate soccer matches on a daily bases. I was introduced to Basket ball on primary school and loved it as well. During my secondary school years I participated in many sports and took parts in many events. I ran marathons and participated in swimming competitions. I also took part in cycling, diving, bowling, fencing , horse riding, archery, volleyball, handball, tennis, and many others. I used to be game for anything and everything that had any relation to sports. In my first year in college back in 2002 I only weighted 64kg (141lb). For a 5ft9” person, this was more skinny than slim. I wanted to add little extra muscle to my body but didn’t really know where to start. I knew little about bodybuilding. All the bodybuilders I knew were on the heavy side and looked more like monkeys than humans. I really felt sorry more than impressed. I also didn’t believe that women will be attracted to that ( a girl ? care to share your opinion ? ?). Besides, their lives where filled with strange drugs (I later came to know that they were using steroids) and I was sure that this is not a healthy thing to do. Toward the end of 2003 I met a person who showed me this site (bodybuilding.com). In it I learned different types of bodybuilding, different goals, and what is good and bad in the supplement world. He also pointed out which local gyms are good and which ones I should avoid. (Ali, if you are reading this then Thank you very much man!). I started bodybuilding in the college gym. It was a nice place where I met lots of friends. This continued through 2004 where I did “casual training”. I would train 3 days a week. I gained about 6 KGs (13lbs) during that year and I started looking better. In 2005, I started taking body building seriously. I joined a gym with a professional trainer. I started to train for 6 days a week. By 2006 I gained another 10Kgs (22lbs) and my final weight reached 80Kgs (176lbs) with 8% fat and that was the peak of my body shape. I looked good but not massive, which was a good thing.
