what got you into working out?
Was it girls? sports? respect?

For me it was dragon ball z. I remember when I first saw it when I was 14. seeing goku putting so much dilligence and intensity into his training and using the awesome power he built to kick so much ass. . . That made working out seem so cool to me.

Around college, it was more for sports/girls.

Summer was around the corner and I was bored sitting at home. And my shape was pretty bad. So I thought it would be good to get in shape. 3 months later it is still going pretty good.

I don't wanna die at the age of 45

That's what I first started doing before joining this site for my self-improvement.

I was skinny as ****, I was like 117 lbs 5'7 at 19, when I started to work out and eat like an animal. I now range between 150-170 at 5'8 depending on my periodical goal, but my appearance changed dramatically. From a girly scared boy, to a more confident, normal weight man.

They both trained very hard, you can't say one trained harder than the other. However, goku trained for a higher purpose, to save others. He also knew how to have fun training and how to stay focued. Vegita, on the other hand, trained only for himself, to be the best. Since he was not number one, he was much mroe stressed during his training, and thats what made it seemed like he worked harder.

Well, I was fed up of being told "wow. Isn't he skinny?" "no meat on him".

So I became the buffest guy in school.

 

[dirtysanchez]

I was skinny and lacked athletisism even though I was alright at some sports.

It was the first really cute girl (HB8) who ever flirted with me that got me into this stuff, couse i DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!
Being the Nice Guy i was i got obsessed and she lost all her interest.
Then she found herself a real jerk who took her virginity and dumped her on Valentine's Day. It was a REAL good motivation for me to start lifting weights and doing martial arts (brazilian jiu jitsu, kick boxing and boxing).
Now i'm well on my way to becoming an Alpha Male
