Got a crappy weight bench for Christmas one year. Messed around with it. Basically for the first 2 years, did retarded training, with horrendous diet. Thought going in and just working up an immense sweat would work and that any weigh gain was good weight (like 2lbs a week lulz).

It's been a constant in my ever changing life. Naturally, I'm a good endurance/long distance athlete, so I love lifting because I suck at it. I think getting great at things I naturally suck at will make me a better person.
