Not the nicest story, I attempted suicide and my psychiatrist prescribed a 30 min run everyday. Well I did that for awhile, then started lifting. I kept reading magazines, and watching all the guys and girls in the gym lifting heavy weight and that's where it began. I watched Pumping Iron, and visioned myself looking exactly like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I haven't missed a lifting day since I started.

I love the feeling of getting stronger. At first I was obsessed with the looks aspect, and how much I could gain. Now I just go because it makes me feel good, and raises my self esteem alot. It also makes me feel really good when I see friends I haven't seen for awhile, and I get a "Holy ****! Your huge!"
