I got started my senior year in high school. I had always been small. At 5'8" I was only 120 pounds when I first started. I was teased alot for being small, including by my father and step mother.. So after a life time of being bullied and beat down I decided to do something about it. This is when I met my best friend Kyle, who had just started going to the gym.. I read Arnold's encyclopedia on body building multiple times, and the same with Gold's gym encyclopedia. This made me exceedingly interested. The idea that a person could sculpt his/her body made me sick with excitement! I had knots in my stomach everytime I thought of going to the gym! This is how I got obsessed.

Feels awesome!
