I have always been the classic case of the skinny kid at school, always the shortest and skinniest in the year but very athletic due to football (soccer). I started going to the gym about 2 and a bit years ago at 9st (126lb) at the age of 18, i didnt know what i was doing or how to eat properly and soon quit after not going enough. I bought a bench for my garage at home after quitting and very inc... more.

My battle with gaining weight has been a problem since the day I was born, as a child I was always a very skinny kid. For a long time I had health problems due to malnourishment. My parents were instructed to immediately put me on a better well-rounded diet. Its actually funny because most of the foods that they were instructed to feed me are the ones that I still eat on a daily basis. I got bette... more.

Going in to high school I was one of the smallest guys in the year. At 5’3 and 110lbs, it wasn’t long before I realised that I needed to start growing, and fast! A little bit on my background...I’ve always been relatively fit from competing in distance running events with my late Grandfather. We used to train regularly, and it wasn’t uncommon for us to play tennis for hours on end on week... more.

My name is Roger "ROCK" Lockridge. I am from Lewisburg, West Virginia. I started my bodybuilding on March 9, 1999. I treasure that day almost as much as I do my birthday. It means that much to me. I started at 125 lbs. and had virtually NO supporters. My family thought I was wasting my time, my mom signed up for me because she thought it was a phase, my doctor told me it was impossible, my P.E. te... more.

I used to race motocross professionally and after a serious crash I ended up in the hospital with 4 compression fractured vertebras in my back broken ribs and a bruised heart. After being in basically a body cast for 4 months I weighed in at a whopping 135lbs being 6ft tall! After stepping out of the professional motocross scene I looked at myself one day in the mirror and knew I needed to make a ... more.

I started out at 150 before I ever touched a weight in my life. I was very skinny and bony and not the strongest. A bunch of my friends started the gym and I would always hear them talk about it and wonder what was so great about it. One night I was out snowboarding with my buddy and there was this big snow/rock ball in the way so I tried to move it...wasn't gonna happen so my friend (who we... more.

I started off with lifting weights in 2006 when I was just about to turn 17. I was not even your "average joe". Skinny, bony, and weighing around 110 pounds. Really low on self-esteem and self-confidence. Everywhere I went, I felt uncomfortable. I got respect from no one. They all treated me like a kid. I got picked around and lets face it, no attention from the girls. Good at studies, good ... more.

Recovered anorexic here; longer story can be found in the beginning of my workout log which is updated daily. Feel free to check it out! June 4, 2008 - Hospitalized due to Anorexia Nervosa. This started during wrestling in 7th grade (sophomore in highschool now) when I had to lose some weight to make the next weight group under me, so I did that easy. Just ran 20 minutes every day. I have pre... more.

Im Chad Martin, today I stand at 185 pounds and 6 foot tall, however that is not where I was 2 years ago.  On August 2, 2008 I decided to start building my body, at this time I did not think it was going to be a life change for me…I was wrong. The first thing I did was read all the information that I could get my hands on, the main thing was nutrition for me. One of my biggest challenges w... more.

Going into high school I went from being relatively short and overweight to sprouting up to around 6'0 and being extremely skinny, around 130-135. I had long curly hair and although I had a lot of friends I preferred to be more of a loaner and such because I never felt like I fit in with anyone being involved in sports and such but it was always something I wanted to do. Finally middle of ... more.

I began training about 2 years ago (seriously about 1 year ago). I can honestly say all I did was skateboard and play guitar at that time. My initial motivation was my parents getting on my case, constantly telling me I was underweight, which I certainly was. As I began lifting weights and eating better at home, I started getting hooked on the hobby. I knew a few friends that had gym membersh... more.
