After (still in progress)
I was always the skinny kid in school. People did not take me seriously and didn't think I was really athletic. Even being skinny as I was I was great at sports such as baseball. When people would see me play and think I would be no threat at the plate. I used to crush the ball into the outfield, players and parents were amazed, they never thought I was real though. I used to get made fun of for being skinny and it was not a pleasant thing at all.
I used to be known as a tall kid throughout my years because I've been the same height for a while now. I was taller than everyone in my grade until Sophomore year when everyone else started growing. I was no longer tall I was just an average height. People would push me around trying to be all tough. It was not at all fun. I assumed since I was so good at baseball I didn't really need to work out. I made every team I always tried out for including my high school freshman year. Then Sophomore year I got cut from the team. I didn't know why because I did so good at the tryout. I soon realized most of the team consisted of big football players who can hit the ball out of the park. I was mad and had nothing to look forward to but my basement. I realized definition did nothing for me I am still recognized as a skinny kid so I wanted to take it to the next level and get better.
Taking the time going down in my basement and working out seemed easy for me at this point. I did this for about 2 months and seen some definition start to come in. It made me happy but it wasn't good enough, because I was the same weight and I was still skinny. Knowing that my uncle is a bodybuilder and how huge he is I asked for his advice. So he told me to start coming to the gym with him. I looked up to him and how much weight he does on the bench, leg press, his squats, and his biceps curls. The weight was ridiculous and I felt a little intimidated. I didn't do much weight on the bench at all maybe just a one rep max of 135 lbs. I followed his weekly workout routine and before I knew it I was getting some size and going up weight after two months. As of February of 2007 I can bench 135 lbs. 15 times. It was ridiculous. Then I decided in March of 2006 I wanted to play football for my school. I know by doing so this would make me a really strong young man. I went to talk to the football coach about playing. The first thing he told me was to get into the weight room. I listened to him and was in there for about a month with the team. Everyone was doing so much more weight than me I was a little intimidated there too. So I stopped. By the time the season rolled around on the football field it was tough. I got banged up pretty good, then before you know it the season is over. I felt a lot more confident about my strength and realized football was a big boost in building muscle.
I still wasn't satisfied so when it was over I joined the gym with my uncle for a full years membership. To this day I am still working out with him and now I am up to most of the other kids standards at the gym. Maybe even stronger than most of them and it feels great.
I have been using multivitamins and I have been using naNOx9 which unleashes nitric oxide throughout the body in just 9 seconds and have gotten some good pumps in my workouts from using it. I am almost done with my can. When I am done I'm going on to using another nitric oxide product called No-Xplode along with an amino acid product called Xtend plus a whey protein powder. I will also add a creatine product called Higher Power Creatine Ethyl Ester. All of these four products in one big stack.
I do abs almost every day or I might skip around but it varies. All I do for abs is sit ups on the ab lounge for about 150 reps a day and it works perfectly. I do bi's and tri's more than once a week, because I want to get my arms big for baseball so I can throw the ball harder and faster. I know throwing a baseball is not just all about arms but it is a big part of throwing a baseball. Last year I pitched only 70 mph. This year I pitch 85 mph.
If you are going to workout stay dedicated to it. Just don't take it lightly be serious about it and one day you can accomplish your dreams if they are in professional sports or whatever. Dedication is the key and if you have dedication you can achieve anything your heart desires. Workout and give your best in the gym and have a well balanced diet and good things will happen. Just remember nothing is impossible.
