Mine is funny. I was 12 years old and was hired to bail hay at a farm. When I arrived. Two farm guys that were 15 years old looked like bodybuilders. They worked on farms and it was cray how they looked. i was unable to lift the wet bails of hay, so the farmer put me in the barn to stack the bails in preparation for the ne bails coming. The one farm guy took me under his wing and he had those plastic cement filled Weider plates and bench. We started lifting together and I was hooked.
