Was small growing up, very short and very skinny. Example, I was 4'9" my freshmen year in HS. Then I had the most ridiculous growth spurt and at the end of HS I was 6'1". Then realized I was still skinny as hell, but main reason I started lifting was for rugby. Now my back and knees are trashed so I just lift for the body...

The feeling and being able to prove everyone wrong when they told me to just accept being small and that I would never be able to gain any considerable amount of muscle.
