    I know what you mean! Working out at home is nice. No one "sizing you up". Equipment is always available and whatever mistakes you make are between you and the four walls.

      MD, I can't image anyone "sizing you up" with the size of your guns.

        I wish I had some before pics lol. Remember those advertisements that used to be on the backs of comic books? The ones where the skinny guy is on the beach getting sand kicked in his face? Then in 7 days he miraculously gets big? I was the skinny guy for a loooooooooong time. In high school I weighed between 98-145. Now I'm between 190-210.

          Haha, yeah. I went from 140 to 170 in 3 months right before my sophmore year in college. I discovered the power of eating and working out (One of those old weider concrete filled with plastic weights sets my dad bought me at a garage sale). That was over the summer, people were shocked when I came back the next semester. (I'm 6'1" , so I went from being rail thin to looking pretty decent.)

            Being 6'1" is intimidating enough, add muscle to it and now you're talking!! I'm only 5'9" so there's a little "pudge"going on lol.

                  Bruce Lee was only 5'7" and could kick a man twice his size across a swimming pool. Size ain't everything my friend. I sure as hell didn't see a "bloated hobbit" hitting that bag with some authority
