I was a skinny dude... Quick as fook off the mark, but the wind could knock me off balance.

Decided to start the gym when I was at college at around 18-19 years old. Joined and didn't have a clue!!!

No idea about training, cardio, compound and isolation movements or diet. The next few years between 19 years old and being 10st to around January 2006 (24yrs old) was about getting heavier and bigger. I peaked at around 14 odd stone and decided that was too heavy for my ectomorph body type and height. I was and am only 5.7" tall.
So I did my first ever cut in Summer 2006, then summer 2008 and summer 2010 and finally 2012.... With great results. I haven't looked back since.

Like big man Arnie said...'the pump is amazing.' The feeling you have of the blood rushing to the muscles, the pains and aches of muscles ripping, stretching and growing is amazing.

It increases whatever confidence you have naturally.

The stares, the whispers and guys and girls looking is what it is all about for me!!
