some signs that you are getting there....

[needsize]

awesome posts guys, sometimes we spend so much concentrating on our end goals, that we forget how far we have come so far...

socal girl, that is awesome. There arent too many serious women trainers at my gym, but I love that when I see it. A girl comes in, all the cool guys start oogling her, she then proceeds to lift more than all of them, awesome.
I am a social worker, and one of the classes I worked in had a young female in it that was an incredible athlete. The macho guys were alway spouting off, but then she would beat them in everything they did, I loved watching that...

this thread is awesome motivation, i'm going to read it again before going to the gym tonight. whenever i'm feeling down on myself, i look at my training log and see how i'm always progressing, that puts a smile on my face. I also love running into people who went away to school, cause every time i see one of them all they have to say is "you've gotten alot bigger." I love that sort of thing

weighed myself this morning for the first time in months.. up to 192. vertical jump is at least 5 inches better than when I started lifting at 172 lbs and the same bodyfat%. people randomly say 'wow' when i do agility stuff around campus for fun these days. definitely getting there

great thread

good job on the prgress.. I would have to say that the time i know i'm getting bigger is seeing old relatives My brother moved to detroit with his mom and hes down right now and i was talking about me trying to get my arms to 15 1/2 by xmas and he's like you are already a beast. I said WHAT lol ( he never compliments me on anything) it made my day def. he's like you got huge dude you are really goin to be a bodybuilder lol eh's never lifted me up so much b4

One I completely forgot about is my parent. When I was young they were always on me about bodybuilding, thinking I was going to turn into the stereotypical bodybuilder who is an egotistical prick, and only about himself. I kept telling them that getting big wasnt going to change who I was, but they never really supported it.
Now that i've gotten to where I am, kicked ass in my first show, etc, my mom thinks its the greatest thing. She is always taking my pics to work to brag about me, etc...
Not only is that a good sign for me, it helps me realize just how much I wanted their support and how much it means that I have it now

All in all it feels good when people around you let you know you are on the right track. I look in the mirror and still see the 145lb 18 year old who everyone laughed at and picked on, the positive comments give me a glimpse of how I really am.

thats sooo true...i see the same thing...on the same note, my uncle is balding like hell, and still sees a full head of hair!

I'll never be as huge as everyone here.....

But I like it when my shirts get tighter, girls feel my arms and say "wow" and when chicks all turn their heads towards me at the pool!

bro, dont sell yourself short, we were all small once. I started at around 130lbs, and 12 years later am sitting at just under 250lbs. What seems impossible now will be old news years from now

The other day I say a girl watching me train, when her boyfriend came over looking all pissed off, I heard her bullshitting him, telling him I'm too big and she didnt like that....
I love that kind of stuff

How do you know she was bullshitting bro?

I'm a loser who likes to talk shit anonymously over the internet. I like to cut other people down because it makes me feel better about myself.

Sorry to hear that "bro."
