Why I Got Started

Throughout middle school I was always the chubby kind of kid that couldn't lift a 10-pound dumbbell. I was the kid on the baseball team that had no speed and could not get the ball out of the infield. My brother was in the Marine Corps at the time (Previous teen amateur bodybuilder of the week #209 Matthew Ewy) and he was always my role model, so I decided I should start lifting weights and see where it would get me.

And See Where It Would Get Me.

How I Did It

In the winter/spring of 2009 I began running and lifting on a regular basis. I bought a bench and had all the weights left over from my brother who went into the Marines. I ran 4-6 miles four days per week and tried to hit ever muscle group in a week. I began to read articles on Bodybuilding.com and buying a few supplements. I soon added supersets, drop sets, and forced reps into my routines and saw large gains in definition. I have never had a gym membership or used any equipment outside of my house before, so I can decide when I want to work out and for how long. With the knowledge of my brother I have made some impressive gains.
