Tweetfirst time I hit a gym in high school I saw a guy doing 225 and thought one day im gonna do that.. as I threw two pigs on the bar (25 lb plates). and went to work lol.

TweetFor me it was a friends basement. His dad had quite the gym down there. Then there was the gym in high school. I remember my freshman year watching the older kids and thinking I will get 205 by end of the year. 155 was my 1 rep max. LOL, but I did get 205 before the year was over. My 1st time at a gym besides that was actually my 1st job. I was 14 and worked at a gym for 2 bucks an hour and loved it. I made some cash and got to workout for free. There where some monsters that trained there and after earning their respect they took me under their wing and worked the shit out of me. I learned a lot from them and put on some serious muscle. I went from 160 to 205-215 by my senior year and was accused of doing steroids by a teacher. I took it as a compliment, but my parents not so much. LOL All I did was eat and lift. I never touched gear till I was over 35. Any way, that was my 1st real gym and my favorite job I ever had.

TweetFirst time in the gym I was 14 I used every machine in the gym I mean everyone was there 2 hrs no idea what I was doing So sore the next day I could not move then I put Ben gay on arms abs legs hurt worse jumped in a hot shower to wash off the Ben gay well that set my skin on fire missed two days of school. And 26 years later I still go to the gym. This is a true rookie story.

TweetI remember the first time I squatted in a gym. ahah. I put 135 on there and went down but didn't come up. I was naturally a good bencher tho.
