In the "Where to start" thread there was a choice of option A or B, which one did you do?

I lifted on and off alot of messing around with no direction. Basically I would follow would trainer A told me, along with what I saw people in the gym do. So if I seen somebody lift x amount of weight I would try it to like an idiot. Was homeless for a bit, dated a BPD girl, and s fair share of other problems with the ladies. Ended up having a kid of my own (to which the mother packed up and left). It was a tough pill to swallow but I realized I had no direction. A friend of mine who trains young bodybuilders told me

"Your stopping and starting says alot about you. I've trained girls who weigh and lift more than you do! My guy (his body builder trainee who took 1st in our state) worked hard for 3 years! What have you done?! Worry about hitting your natural potential before even qualifying yourself of such nonsense. Dont mean to be harsh but its the truth take it or leave get big and improve or stay small and get left behind!" Needless to say that was the ambition I needed to put my focus 100% into lifting.
