6 years ago lol, i was weak and skinny as shit back then.

the earliest pics in the transformation thread were taken at the same time as this journal.
 
Yeah it's funny to look back and see where it all began. My first bech 15 years ago at 18 was the bar. I did 5 reps and started getting dizzy lol. I saw guys benching like 60kg and was like Wow!!!

cheers mate. yup, looking through the journal, there was a disproportionately large amount of bicep work lol. about 12 sets per workout usually haha. i don't think i ever did kickbacks in a proper gym tho (the journal was from when i trained at home)
