Re: very first time in a gym
For 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.
