d) 'I dont wear shorts brah'
e) 'I just do chest 'n' gunz, cos they are the muscles that the girlz love dude'

f) 'If i touch squats my legs wont fit in my skin tight jeans'

I would sell my soul to go back in time to when I first started lifting, slapping my younger self, handing him "Starting Strength", and throwing him into the squat rack!

Back then I simply had no idea how and why it was a good idea to squat

me either Spart. I was a dumbass for many years. I would always sacrifice form for more weight. If only I knew then what I know now but no use in wishing I still have the ability to make the best me possible in the present time.

Ahhh the problem with wisdom/experience is that you get it just after you need it!

Thats why youth is wasted on the young......

I actually started on a 3x per week fullbody, but all the 'experts' in the gym told me Id never get bigger or stronger doing it and I should move to a split if i wanted to progress as FB's were only any good if you were just getting in to it

Ahh yeah its very hard to separate stuff like that unless your in the know, makes starting off very hard!!

My first routine was actually a split workout, back/biceps sort of thing. Except it was on an exercise ball and a set of dumbels that went up to like 15kg (33lb) or so. I felt I had pushed it to the max when I broke a sweat lol
