I'd have to go back when I was 15, I had always watched Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies and was facisnated about his size and perfection of his body how awesome it was.

Watching Conan The Barbarian ignited a flame of burning passion to become a bodybuilder and to pursue my dream of building a awesome physique. I never really got into any of the sports at my school i disliked them all, the only one i found of interest was Football (soccer) that soon ended when i moved to high school.

The only sport what would keep giving to me is bodybuilding and it always makes me feel Strong and powerful. When ever I broke barriers of my previous strength limits I get a high feeling of positive energy.

Favourite scenes of Conan The Barbarian what made me want to work out!
His recovery


and a battle scene.

Feel free to give your own story and bio and how you first got into the sport of bodybuilding.

The first Body Builder I saw was Lou Ferrigno in the Incredible Hulk tv series, I was like 5 years old, and I was shocked, he was the biggest man I've ever seen, also in the same week it was aired Pumping Iron, and I saw both him and Arnold, since then I've always wanted to get big, strong, huge.It took a long time for me to start training seriously cause as I stated before my family believes this is a sport for retards and meaningless so they tried everything to make me don't train, but now that thank god I have a job, nothing's gonna stop me.

A photographer was taking a few pictures of me for a magazine and said I needed to add a few kilos to look really sexy.

My brother got me into the gym at 16 so I owe it to him...what kept me there was seeing flex magazine a few months later with Lee Priest on the cover, from then on I was hooked.
