HEADLINE: SKINNY PUNK ROCK KID STARTS BB’ING & GAINS +40 LBS!!
Ok, my background. I was always skinny & bad at sports, had never lifted a DB or put on a jock!! Ten years ago I ’secretly’ joined a Golds. My wife (then fiancee) was the only one I told because I figured all my RnR buddies would laugh & call me "Ahhrnuldd!" I didn’t overtrain started to eat lots more & take protein supps. I just wanted to fit in, so I had to buy ‘regular’ workout clothes all I had was baggy cut off jeans, Chuck Taylors & band ringer- T’s. I gained 15Lbs my 1st year & my friends said "MAN! are you working out or what?!" etc. Within 5 years I went from 137 > 180 LBS, my Bi’s went from 11.5" > 15.5". I cut BF% a couple years ago & have floated around 172 since. As a result when I see the skinny kids @ Golds I root for them. I love lifting,It psyches me up & clears my head. I ran across a friend I han’t seen in 12 years the other day & he told his wife "This guy used to be SKINNY! I need to hit the gym!"
