How many of you were skinny kids?

How many of you guys grew up as skinny kids?

I was a skinny kid. I went to high school in the late eighties.
I grew up reading Muscle and Fitness and watching WWE wrestlers.
There was nothing I wanted more than to become as big as "those" guys.
I went to the gym at age 13 and started lifting at Family fitness center.

I worked and worked lifting weights from age 13 to age 18. I got stronger but was always still considered skinny.
I hated being skinny. I would buy those bodybuilding books and there was always one section in the back about anabolic steroids.
I lived in San Diego and decided to cross the border and get some steroids.
$25 for a bottle of ciba brand Dianabol was my first cycle. The Mexican pharmacist had me pyramid the dbol.
1 a day for one week, then 2 a day, all the way up to 5 a day for a week and then back down.
I got big and strong. Finally something worked to help me not be skinny!
I now am the size of this wrestlers I saw in the WWE. I became what I always wanted.
I guess I am wondering this.
I have seen pictures of many famous big men and many of them were skinny.
( for example Brock Lesnar)
How many of you were skinny kids who were not going to settle for being skinny and made a lifetime of sacrifices to become what you are today?

Small guy here to. When starting this lifestyle from the party guy lifestyle I was 21 or 22 and looked terrible.
First cycle of sten, laurabolin, ref-b I gained 25lbs straight away.

 

[GetYucked]

I was 135 when I graduated and hit 212 (pretty high BF) before I jumped on the bikes. I cut down to 185 or so then started from a much leaner weight.

At 14 I was 6'1" and 140, felt like a big skinny freak with a giant adams apple. I bought every issue of flex, muscle and fitness, ironman and musclemag, copied every bullshit routine of every pro bodybuilder. I must have switched routines three or four times a week!

My son is currently 6' and 135 Pounds. I was about 6'1" and 140 pounds when I started. Funny you mention ciba d-bol. Some IFBB pro told me I was real skinny and told me to take 4 a day of these vitamins. I did not even know it was steriods at the time because I knew nothing about them. I went to 165 pounds training hard and eating a lot. I went back to him after 8 weeks and ask him if he had anymore of those vitamins.

LOL we were all about the same size. I had a little baby fat and some puberty gyno, so i looked like skinny fat, so all i wanted to do was get ripped.

After my JV season of football when i was 15, i was about 5'10 and 155. I hit the weights so hard but i dieted like a maniac because all i wanted to do was be ripped. Going into my junior year i was almost 6 feet tall and 143 pounds, with completely shredded abs, but i had like no mass. Not knowing what approach to take in the gym, i dieted when i should have been bulking. I ended up graduating high school at 6 feet tall and 170 pounds, and i went to college at 180.

First semester of college i bulked naturally to 205, but had a gut. I dieted down to 185 ripped. At 21 i did my first cycle, 10 shots of deca lol. Now i'm 33 and im ripped at 220. (when im ripped)

 

[MooseKnuckles]

Graduated high school at 5'11 125lbs, it sucked but now everyone that gave me shit is over weight and out of shape its kind of funny.

 

[infinity1]

[Queefer]

Now I know why all you twerps have such big attitudes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
































I used to be called "bird chest Bert"

 

[kubes]

I was about 85 lbs my junior year in high school. Boy I can't even imagine that now

 

[heavyhitter]

Skinny as hell. I was 6'1" and 138 pounds when I graduated high school

 

[j4ever]

damn some of you guys were super skinny,haha, I was 6' 130#, started doing some lifting as a freshman and ended up graduating high school at 6' 160#

 

[Growman]

Damn we were all skinny. I feel like its better to start skinny, and try and build yourself up then to start fat and work the other way.

Either way we all start lifting for a reason, and at that age its always to look better. You are either looking to get bigger because you are skinny, or ripped because you are fat. I never heard of a teenager want to start working out because of the "health benefits"
