View Full Version : My Journey.. Brick by motherfuckin brick
Just to tell you about myself.. I'm 18 years old from a small town in southern Ontario.. I see myself at a small 185.. lean and muscular i guess but nowhere near the monster i see myself as i should be. I've had to overcome some shit n my life, being diagnosed with type one diabetes at age 10 turned my whole life around, couldn't eat the food that all the other kids could, had to take needles upon needles a day..eating at intervals of two hours everyday..yeah it was tough but it just prepared me for my life ahead showed me that i had to grow the fuck up. but who doesn't have their problems right.. I got into lifting when i first started highschool.. trying to bulk up to be the starter.. and that continued until just this year, when i found animal and then it all became religion. This is my journey to becoming a beast like all you guys that motivate me.. brick by motherfuckin brick.

Nothing spectacular yet but gotta start somewhere. Can't say it was the best workout.. ate like shit all day, not a whole lot of sleep so was feelin a little tired. thank god for jack3d( Rage hurry the fuck up and get to Canada already) Not to mention the hordes of sleeveless "GTL" shirt wearing wannabes takin up all the space doing curls talkin to there buds the entire time.. go hard or go home kids this ain't no fuckin playground.
Back at school after march break here in the great white north.. so things are a little bit back to normal.

Leg press 90/12, 180/12, 270/8, 360/8, 450/8, 540/8 continuous sets i would get a set done, get up rack weight then right back to another set
seated leg curl 35/12, 50/8, 65/8, 72/8, 87/8
lying leg curl 65/8, 80/8, 95/8 legs were pretty annihilated once i got to these aha
well that was leg day and if and body wants to drop a couple tips then i'm all for it.. anything to be huge!
Shit happens to you on a daily basis.. and in the end all you've got is the guy starin back at you in the mirror. ...Your either the guy who when shit gets tough and your on your fourth set 6th rep of a heavy dead you either say bring it on fucker and give it your all or back out like a little bitch... there's too many bitches in this world.. too many people who expect somthing for nothing. I've never had a thing given to me.. I pride myself on being someone who looks ahead at whats coming and says bring it..and charge ahead. Watching kids my age try to lift around me makes me laugh.. they want it to be easy.. to go in the gym twice a week, take some protein, do some curls and be big.. fuck if it were only that easy. I'm happy i found this lifestyle.. im a self destructive motherfucker.. lifting evens me out.. keeps me sane.. keeps me from giving into all those dark thoughts..to turn your troubles and the things that get you down into anger. Into something productive. Buddy of mine from my rugby team is the same way.. wants to be huge.. knows that you got to put some blood sweat and tears if you want anything.
