hi guys, i already was reading this great site for 3-4 years.
In the beginning of weightlifting i made the same mistake like many of us did. Chest/Bicep…
I did it for 2 years… eating was not optimal,some alcohol… you know it. I was 18 tot 20 years then.
Then i switched gym(more nearer to my house) and worked out for 1 year… Still worked out like shit but after 6 months i got more into reading forums,articles from different websites.
I started to traing some legs,back into it. It took a while but i made a little bit of progression.
After that year i had enough of that gym and was looking of a new gym where you can train seriously. A new gym openend and i got there from november 2008. My training and diet was a lot better after 1 year i made some decent progress. My mind muscle connection got better and better.
Then it 2008 was turning into 2009. My goals were clear, NOW was the real time to eat lots of food,traing harder,no more fooling around. In this 6 months i made the best progression i had! strength went up(still weak)every week i got stronger and more reps. Finally i had it, and there is no turning back now
