At 14-15 I was the tall skinny kid, not basketball tall , but taller than most people in my class. Spring Freshman football I was undersized, and I would get pummeled , then bullied. Same for my freshman year. From the end of that season to the next I hit the weights. believe it or not I drank down twinlabs weight gainer. I literally put on 30 pounds. Got strong too. I Worked on squatting and powercleans with the front squat added. I got to average with those weights as far as the team went, but big gains compared to the year before.
Now I’m 51, I’ve been doing this since 15 y/o. I’m at the point where it’s now my church, it’s a part of my life and I need it to clear my mind and be positive.
