freshman year football team. Went from 0 lifting experience OR football experience and 3rd string on the team to first string starter/best defensive player on the team by mid-season.
keep in mind my school had about 70 players on the team. We had about 5 strings worth of linebackers. hard work + heart let me overcome alot to get to the top.

thanks. I really look back and am disappointed as hell in myself. I made the choice to stop football and take all kinds of nerdy AP courses that i would have to go to all these afterschool sessions for and miss practice and have soooo much homework (over 5 hours worth a night).
I wish i played sophomore year and junior year and this year. Everytime i go to a game i just want to put on a uniform and get out there.
i would have no chance though...theyve all been lifting since end of freshman year. I barely started lifting this past july. Oh well, i could always join some old guy league in a few years and kick ass there.

It's alright. Your education and future employment is far more important. The glory on the field is short lived.
I was big time into synchronized swimming. The first time I went to state was in 7th grade. In 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades I got medals for being in the top 3 for various routines I did. I always sucked at figures. I wish I'd been more driven with them. But with teams and trios I did amazing.
I turned down a duet my SR year though. My partner for it and I knew we'd place top 2 in our division because the routine was so good and we were leg twins (it was almost impossible to tell whose legs were whose when we were upside down). But duets meant staying til 10 instead of 7-8 every week night and meant at least 8-12 hours on Saturdays. No thanks. No regrets.

same thing i keep telling myself everytime i look back. Now i will get into a much better college and hopefully have a much better education and get a great job
in a few years. Still think about it though, my HS is Division I in football by the way, so its not like i just surpassed a few crappy players that had no futures. Guys that i was passing up are getting some scholarships now to some schools in kansas, etc. still rather go all the way in school and just play sports for fun though. 
as nerdy as that sounds lol GoldenDelicious

i came from where i was, to where i am
Little league baseball. I was 7-0 with 3 shutouts and 1 no hitter. Had a 15 batter strikout game. 8th grade football: By the end of the offseason, I was the second strongest on the team despite being a cornerback. Senior year of highschool: Strongest in the school on the BP. Despite high expectations as a running back (Coach said I had a chance to be the best player to ever come out of the school) it was disappointing. I had a fallout with the head coach and had an average season. We had a terrible offensive line and I liked to run into people and over them rather than run away from them. Strongest on the bench press on my JC football team. Set the bench press record on the football team at North Texas State university. Ran a 4.46 forty. Won 2nd place in powerlifting at the National Collegiate Championships. Did over 100 pushups in a row for the first time at the age of 33. Had 1st ranking on the physical fitness test at the 2 police depts. I applied for. Did a one arm pullup without using the other arm and I'm still paying for it. Went through an entire season of baseball and only struck out once.

jeez bro, you've accomplished so much. Make me look like weaksauce! lol
nicely done.If you're into college hoops, you might have spotted me on SportsCenter. I was on there twice, once for sending a game to OT with a 3-pointer and once for a 3-pt play that invovled an impressive (if I do say so myself) slam dunk against the #1 team in the country.
We got killed though.

I love b-ball. It feels so good to knock down those jump shots and to drive to the basket and finish. The only better feeling was running into someone on the field and knocking them on their arse. I loved to deal out punishment. Not any more though. I played on the playground when I was 35 and when I flattened dudes, I no longer got pleasure out of it. If I'm bigger and stronger, that's what I'm suppose to do. I really got a kick out of knocking the fock out of bigger dudes though. I had a lot more anger in me then. I don't want to hurt anyone now.

I was two-time Mr. Teenage Atlanta, started on my school's first region championship football team and ran college track. The thing i'm most proud of is completing several century (100 mile) bike rides. Someday I want to qualify for Ironman Hawaii....no plans to do it, just want to qualify.

rnch said:the script writers injected much more true to life reality into that show than most peeps would like to admit out loud!
I loved that show. I need to start watching the reruns. Gotta get cable television again. Sanford and Son, Gunsmoke, Bonanza. I love all those shows.
Too many to list, my athletic prowress is unparalleled.

I was 12 years old, never pitched in a game in my life. Coach started me for some reason or another, and I ended up throwing a perfecto. Not that big a deal on the grand scale, but to a 12 yer old kid whos life was baseball, it was a very big deal. Our next game, the coach started me again and I was pulled in the 3rd inning. could not throw a strike to save my life. Never pitched in another game. Turned out to be a pretty good catcher though.
only athletic feat I've ever accomplished that I think was really notible was my 1RM squat back in late July '03. It was either 335 or 345, down to about 2" below parallel.
1) Summer camp @ school; I was 12. I was playing dodgeball and a girl on the opposite team decided to headhunt me. The ball had a piece of glass in it. It just missed my eye and hit an inch from the corner of my eye. It bled and I had a bandage put on it. I went back into the game & caught the last ball. My team one. Needless to say, I was the reason Dodgeball was banned at my school. Oh, and I still have the scar.
2) Last December, I got down to an 8 minute mile.
3) Before school, work and my project became overwhelming, I squatted 140lbs.

AWESOME NYC!
dodgeball scar = HOT! on a girl! 
8 minute mile! jerk - you run better than I do (i hate running though so eh).
140 lbs - nice! as long as they were ass to the grass!

Rock fucking steady, girl! I wish you'd spiked the ball and eyeballed the headhunter and said "what's up now bitch!? "
I hated dodgeball in school. I'm winning vicariously through your exploits.

LOL. Thanks.
I consider 8-minute mile slow. My goal was to get down to a 7 minute mile. I don't think I can run faster than that without losing lots of muscle. If there was a way I could lift and train to run at least a 10K race, I would. I haven't figured it out yet.
Of course!!!

8 minute mile is ok. Fastest ive ever done was around 6:45 i think. I was NEVER a runner type.
but now i am bulking up and cutting at the same time so i doubt id ever get to 6:45 again. Id rather be a bodybuilder than a runner anyways!
runners dont get the girls!

Best one I can think of right now.
Three weeks ago I was at an amazing Sigma Chi Bid party. Drunk as fuck. I was outside and to get inside you had to walk up a flight of stairs, about 30 steps. Buddy of mine with another guy rolled up with two full kegs in the trunk of his explorer. I open the trunk and grab one and walk to the entrance where the stairs were. The guy who was riding came behind me struggling so bad. He couldn't hold the keg. No way he was going to get up the stairs, so I said fuck it and I grabbed his keg too. I had a full keg in each hand hanging to my side and I just walked up the stairs. Hard as fuck, I thought I was going to pass out because the strain was so hard. They must weigh close to 175lbs each. So I barely make it up the stairs and these guys were at the top staring at me and were in complete awe. One said, "whoa, that was cool! I could see all the veins in your neck."
lol, I just laughed and relieved that someone else was going to carry them now.

I could have sworn I ran a 13 sec 100m in 9th grade. During weight training my senior year I was running a 4.7 40, so I'm pretty quick.EnderJE said:
