Were you a God in your high school? Because you probably would have been in mine, lol.
Saw your video on IG yesterday @ 300lbs, looking massive dude. I even showed my wife (who has started following bodybuilding a lot in the last 5 years we've been together) and she even said "Wow. At least he hasn't put on a bunch of fat just to say he hit 300"
I donīt know about "god" but I can tell you he was the exact opposite to me.

At my HS, with a 405 bench EVERYONE would have known about it, especially if it were for reps.
A lot of people hung out in this 'commons area' in the basement of the high school (where the locker rooms and weight rooms were) before school. There was this big board on everyone's 1RM. Everyone talked about the guys who lifted X amount of weight on w/e the lift was.
"Ask yourself this: if everyone else is training once per week, what are you doing that's so different that you would expect to get better results than anybody else? You might have good genetics, be tough enough and disciplined enough to train hard... but so are a lot of people." - BOSS
"I think I must be overtraining"... no, you're just a pussy - Machine

Where I grew up no one could care less. All they talked about was who could down the most Schnaps before losing consciousness...

We had that too. But down in the states, down south it's usually Jack Daniels or moonshine or diesel (horrible).

Haha I wouldn't say a god, but i will tell you this. I was very well respected. Especially entering high school at 150lbs and walking at graduation at a lean 230lbs. Everyone knew I was motivated and determined for something, we just didn't know what it was at the time. I think I have found my calling and it is bodybuilding. I appreciate the support man thank you!
I hated it.
Spent 7 years that facility. When I finally got out I promised myself to never go back. Not even to visit... and I never did. Never will...
Back to the topic at hand: I started lifting at 125lbs at 16, 5ī11
Hard to imagine you at 150lbs. I entered high school at 135lbs and graduated at 185lbs.
Yeah man, I have to show you a picture one day. I would look in the mirror everyday and just dream and imagine being huge. I would weigh myself twice a day and I needed to see and increase, or get very upset. I used that as motivation to start eating more and training.
I hated it.

At 125lbs, did you still have the intensity you do now? Or did it grow on you?

Was referring to taking shots of Schnapps and passing out, LOL! On a serious note, sorry you had a miserable experience.
