I begged my parents to get me a weight set for my birthday. They got me the cement filled plastic 110 pound Weider barbell set popular back in the day. I may have over did that first workout just a little bit. I grabbed my favorite bodybuilding magazine, turned to the Mr. Olympia workout inside and went to work. I never finished that first workout because my body started shaking uncontrollably half way through. Needless to say, it was a good six months after that first workout before I touched those weights again.

Because I know the fountain of youth is made of iron.
