My roommate my freshman year in college was into bodybuilding and competed in BB contests such as the Southern Classic and Junior Nationals. It was intimidating seeing this 240lb guy walking around town and getting a ton of attention wherever he went and my 115lb skinny ass wanted the same kind of attention. So my roommate took me to the gym and started me on the path of weight training, I remember straining to do 20lb barbell curls and seeing guys and girls around me curling much more and feeling like crap about it, my roommate told me the one thing that has stuck with me more than anything else, "Everyone has to start somewhere!"

I love working out because it gives me a chance to relax and get away from my wife. LOL, no really it is the most relaxing and gratifying thing I have ever done.
