Why did you decide to join the gym or workout?

TJ Cline · 09-04-2005, 08:25 AM

Mac used to be a 98-pound weakling, the kind that got sand kicked in his face at the beach. I’m sure you know the type if you’ve ever seen any of those Charles Atlas bodybuilding ads. Mac sent away for “Muscle Mystery for You” (a N.Y. Times bestseller I hear) and boy, oh boy, was he glad he did when he transformed into Flex Mentallo-Hero of the Beach!

Thats a good reason! are you happy with joining the gym?

AKIRA · 09-04-2005, 12:54 PM

I weighed 143lbs at 6' in the 10th grade. I never could get girls and I lost fights. And how did I do both? Well, cuz I never tried! I was shy-er than shit. And this spilled out into my school interactions. Never raising my hand, angry as shit when going to school, never participated in anything in school or "after-school" specials, etc.

I would love to go back and beat the shit outta myself. Whyd I start working out? Cuz of insecurity.

Never again will I be that quiet.

I was in high school weights for two years, and I wanted to get bigger, and they were holding me back. Then I found this site, and p/rr/s, i switched out of weights, and got a gym membership.

**Prince** · 09-04-2005, 05:31 PM

I cannot vote becuase none of those selections fits for me.

When I was about 15 years old I found an old set of plastic weights in the basement and started lifting them, just did some basic stuff like bicep curls. I got such a rush from the pump I never stopped from that day forward.

ihateschoolmt · 09-04-2005, 08:36 PM

I joined because I was tiny. I still go because I'm small.

I started when i was around 12 or 13 to get in better shape in football. I have now been sorta reborn into the gym because I use to just lift eat crap and drink too much but after a run in with the law I have cleaned up and actually starting to live a real bodybuilding lifestyle.
