First Experience with Muscle Growth..

[Bear89]

I'm fairly new to this, but this forum is pretty awesome. I still have quite a few experiences to get out my system.

This one started when I was about 10. I had a best friend named Terrence, we were basically born neighbors. Growing up I was the fat kid and he was the small slim guy(he's always been shorter.) We hit our teenage years and I began to play basketball and I grew taller, and I became a very lanky kid. Probably about 5'8 130. Very Slim. My friend on the other hand stayed short and started to gain weight, mostly fat, and he started playing football. He was probably like 5'3 170, something like that.

Well we both had picked up sports, and was heading into high school so we decided we should start working out together. He had a basement, and our neighbor gladly gave us his weight set as it was apparently just taking up space in his garage. Me and my friend REALLY got into it, and we made a workout schedule, diet, and everything. We started buying the muscle magazines, and picking our favorite bodybuilders, just the whole typical scene of guys getting bit by the workout bug. We both we're making pretty good progress, until the sports season started...that's when I realize what was happening. He was doing his football workouts, and he was getting much bigger and stronger. And I was doing basketball workouts which built up endurance and speed but didnt do much for size.

My friend never lost his fat but now he was adding muscle on top of it. He started challenging me to arm wrestling matches all the time knowing I could never win. He would joke about how much stronger he was than me during our workouts as I would bench, and then on his turned he'd just slap on a ton more weight and make it look easy. I'll never for get the day we had just finished an arm workout together, and he said he we should measure our arms. I didnt want to because I knew he was bigger. I measure my arms, and they were about 14.5. And I was slim muscular so I was actually kinda proud! Then he measure his and I'll never forget the feeling when I saw he had 18" guns. I felt a wave of jealously but I also remember being very turned on. I think it's why I have a thing for short guys to this day. He had always been so much smaller than me, and now he had become this 5'4 200lb muscle man with 18 inch arms, that could bench press me if he wanted to.

After that day, we both became a bit obsessed with his size. We'd be out together and people would see him and say "You're gettin huge man!" I actually remember a guy telling him he should help me get bigger. That stung. At the same time I was fascinated by the entire situation. He had always had thick forearms, but now they were massive, with green and purple veins running all the way down. We were only about 16 at the time, and his forearms were about 15"...which was bigger than my arms! He started wearing tight shirts that hugged his body, and I actually saw him tear a few sleeves while flexing for himself in front the mirror. And all I could do was watch...
(more to come later...)

dude, that sounds pretty amazing, especially him ripping his sleeves. Wish I had a workout partner like that to motivate me to be just as big or bigger

Great story! Sounds like the guy thought you had potential also, which is why he encouraged your friend to help you get huge.

Keep lifting! Very inspirational!

The first time you rip your clothes that way is something you'll always remember. PLus you don't see the changes like other people do since you see it happen gradually. I remember my little brother ripping the sleeves of one of my shirts flexing his arms. Took me awhile, but now I can rip the sleeves on his shirts! So give yourself time. You'll never know until you get there.
