How I Did It
I have always liked bodybuilding and strongman competitions. I remember as a kid watching all Schwarzenegger's movies again and again. At 13 years old, I did my first trainings by doing mostly biceps and shoulder. I stopped until I turned 15 years old.

Then, I started bodybuilding with proper nutrition and training. I became addicted. Each time I saw somebody of my age stronger than me, I wanted to become stronger than him. Lifting weights had always been something I liked.

I really have no idea where I am going to be in 3, 5, or 10 years. At the moment, I don't see myself on the stage, at a competition or anything but there is one thing that I am sure, I am going to be stronger and bigger.

In life, you must be strong. Bodybuilding helps me to get strong in both ways: physically and mentally. I also like lifting heavy things so each time I lift a heavier weight, I'm happier. Also, getting to be one of these "strong guys" in high school is very nice.
Supplements
I use a combination of Muscle Milk, Optimum Whey and casein. Used these for 4 months and I've seen great gain in strength and a diminution of my body fat percentage. My bodyweight stayed about the same but visually speaking, I'm bigger. I think the one that helped the most is Muscle Milk. I take my whey right after my training and my casein before going to bed.

Training
This workout helped me to gain a lot of strength but not much in mass. As an example, in 1 month, I could get my maximum bench press up by 25-30 pounds. My workouts are often short (30-45 minutes) because I don't have more time and intense. I tried to focus a lot on chest since it was one of my weak body parts before I did this training routine.

Suggestions For Others
If you are not sweating after a workout, there is a problem. If you are not lifting heavier than the previous week, there is a problem. If you have been using the same training for the last 2-3 months, there is a problem too. These are 3 big things that I try to focus on. Always getting this extra rep or that intense super-set makes you closer to you goal.
