What made you start bodybuilding?

[German]

It was Arnold Schwarzenegger who, in the late 70s and early 80s, was present on many ads in magazines offering stupid products. His muscles fascinated me and that was the beginning
of my admiration.

Arnold made BB popular. He is the man!

Seeing Arnold and thinking how cool it looked.

I'm tired of being the small guy. I hang out with guys that are taller than I am (6' 4" to 6' 7"), and they've always been stronger than me, and obviously, bigger than me. It sucks to constantly be used as the reference point for "what is small".

Only one of my friends works out, and all of their diets suck, so I'm catching up now.

Nah, when you're an incurable smartass, you learn to make friends with big guys!



One of 'em used to be a high school football player, offensive and defensive line, but no basketball players...

Used to be a skater. Typical look of a skater 130lb(11 years ago) Doc martins, flanel shirts, cut off jean shorts (a geek Ed Vedder) hair and all. Got in a couple of fights due to how I looked. Said fuck this and started to train. Hav'nt had a real fight since

To be different than everyone else. Lifting weights and being big sets you apart from everone. You have a common bound with your weightlifting budies. So to ansewer the question I was tired of being small and weak and chose to lift and I haven't turned back since.
