I started out with 95 lbs for sets of 4-5. I was 20 years old. I was a 140lb stick boy 6'1.

I quadrupled my strength in three years using HIT and added nearly 60lbs, most of which was muscle. No AAS.

I remember my first day in the gym.

The trainer put a 4" thick towel on my chest, I bounced the bar off of it, and he still had to pull it off of me...with 95lbs on the bar. I missed it.

I also could not do a single rep with the bar on the Smith Machine on the squat.
