Why I Got Started
When I started middle school, my nickname became Bessie The Cow because of how overweight and non-muscular I was. This instilled a desire to become the best looking I could. I always looked up to Hercules, The Hulk, and Jay Cutler. Last year I finally did something about it.
I had already been taking a weight training class at the school but you could hardly say I worked out, although I had put a little weight on my maxes. I had always looked up to the older guys in the weight room and wished I could look like them but figured you had to have the genetics or steroids to do it.

How I Did It
It started last year. I went to the local library and picked up every bodybuilding book it had and started to read them. I quickly realized I could be as big as I wanted to be. I started training immediately.
I changed my diet and everything I did in life. I put goals and quotes all over my room and read them every day. Recently I accomplished all of them which really boosted my self confidence, now I need to make new ones.

Supplements
Diet
I avoid fast food except on weekends. I don't drink soda and I eat only good carbs like multigrain bagels, oatmeal and breads. I eat six meals per day. Each meal is two hours after the last. I maintain a balance of anywhere between 160-and-220 grams of protein a day through shakes and bars.
Training
I followed a strict workout regimen that changes every week with different ways of working out. I alternate between these exercises in different ways, like negative, HIT, and forced reps. I usually perform reps in 3 sets of 10 or 4 sets of 3, depending if I was doing a light day or a heavy day.
For cardio I ran bleachers when it wasn't track season, usually for thirty min to two hours. I also did fifty yard sprints, usually around 30 times.
