How i went from 120-165 pounds in 1.5 years, lost 7% body fat, and got buff. :cool: First of all, you gotta be motivated. When i first started out i was very unhappy with the way i looked. Being so tall and so skinny, everyone would make fun of me. Family members, kids at school, everyone. I got really tired of it so i decided to work out and get buff. No one thought i could do it either, which was even more motivation. I knew i could do it, even if no one else did. Second you gotta have the right equipment. We already had an old WEIDER weight lifting machine, which helped a lot. I also went out and bought a free weight set to allow me to do more. Now i have a Crossbar platinum which is a great machine, and that allows me to do over 75 exercises. Next you have to read up about bodybuilding as much as possible. For about a week i spent everyday online reading training articles at places like bodybuilding.com. I learned all about nutrition and what to eat and when to eat it. I learned how important stretching is to your workout. I think now i know more than probably 4/5 of the people who lift in gyms every week. You have to make a workout plan, i put a bunch of different plans together that i read online the best parts of each one. You have to workout on a schedule, and never break the schedule. After a lil while i began to see results and it motivated me more. I began to lift more intensely and i began to see more results. You have to believe in yourself when u lift. Believe u can do it, believe u can get bigger. Wanna see my stats, look at my other post. other post (http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/showthread.php?t=11408) Any questions for me im me...w8lifter1265
