Home from College.....WOW

[jerseyflex]

I moved into my current residence a few years back when I was totally jacked and contemplating competing. From time to time I would either go running or would do yard work without a shirt. The summer I moved in, there was a scrawny little highschool kid across the street. If I was outside working without a shirt I would catch him staring as he shot hoops or took out the garbage...whatever he was doing I knew he was looking.

One day he worked up the nerve to walk over - I could tell he was a nervous wreck - and said "hey, mind if I ask you a question? can you give me advice on getting big - I wanna get built like you"

Totally flattered I was more than happy to help. I proceeded to start telling him everything I knew from 10+ years of training and studying. We even put together 2 plans - a training strategy and a nutrition strategy. Took him to the gym a few times. Nice quiet kid - parents are divorced - rough time.

Off he goes to college and I start travelling for work. 3 years rush by. Last week hes home for the summer and Im on the side of the house. As I turn, there he is shirtless and friggin hot as hell. He grew to 6' 3" and 215 not an ounce of fat. 6 pack? Naah...hes sportin an 8 pac!!! as he walks up hes got that confident cocky as hell swagger and grin on his face. "Thought you might want to see what your great advice has done for me" he says as he bounces his pecs and flexes his right bi.

Now we are talkin A&F model physique - muscular without being overly bulky.....its what I like to call "the new look" popular with all the 20 somethings.

I was almost speechless. He said i changed his life and because of me college "was one hell of a good time" (claims that any night he wanted it he could go out and get it from a different hottie....sorry guys - hes straight.....for now)

i mean wow. just wow. im still so taken aback by it i dont even know what to do or where to go next. i turned pretty retarded by the breathtaking sight.

its kind of a cool feeling knowing I played a part in it. just wish i could have seen the progression....i saw the "before" - wish i was involved in the during - and now have seen the "after" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice story, Jerseyflex! I can see why you were speechless by the way you described it. You ought to see if he wants to work out with you sometime while he's home. Who knows? He might even agree to pose for you after getting pumped. Good luck!

that was great i love 2 read about that

Mega cool beans!

I think the next time you see him you need to say, "Ya know, I'm *really* proud of you. Plenty of guys wanna get big, not many make the commitment. I'm honored to have helped get you started."

It's pretty clear that he values (in at least some fashion) your approval. And that's a cool thing, isn't it? It's nice to know that someone cares what we think!

Wow! Would it be too brash of me to ask for pics? Surely he's done modeling or something...

Either way, your help must have been GREAT!

I wish *I* could build enough courage to ask a gym rat how he got to be the man he is. There's a REALLY ripped guy I would like to ask at my gym, but I know the friend I usually go with (and the guy I turn to for advice) would feel miffed.

Anyway, great story, and congrats to your protege'. He must have worked HARD for those 3 years!

Congratulations on being such a good role model. We need more of them nowadays.

That's a really cool story...cool that you inspired this guy to change his life for the better, and cool that you got to see a hot muscle stud flex for you! Doesn't knowing that you made a difference in someone's life for the better feel great?
