I thought it would be interesting if we shared our body building experience. Progression, lows, highs, when you started etc.
I'll go first.
I'm a 21 y/o male. I first started lifting weights when I was 17. I continued lifting pretty regularly until I turned 19 due to injury. Btw 17 and 19 I didn't gain much bulk, but I got cut. I've always been a hard gainer and back then I didn't know how to eat a lot. I stopped at 19 and didn't restart hardcore until about last year around this time. I built up my body all through spring and gained a lot of mass due to finally figuring out how to eat a lot and making ridiculously calorie rich protein shakes.
Then last summer I got somewhat lazy and a little fat. But I was still working out, but not hard enough. I was planning on getting back into good shape last fall but I suffered a serious knee injury that caused me to endure surgery. I was out on cruches for 12 weeks. My body had gone to sh*t. Recently, just last month, I started going back to the gym and have been working to get my gains back. I'm eating like a savage again and it looks like i'm having some serious muscle memory.
I'm currently 6'0 and weigh ~170lbs(haven't weighed in in a while)
I haven't tried to max out my bench press since I got back into the gym last month. I'm guessing I can hit at least my body weight. My goal is to be 180-185lbs ripped.
Now time for me to enjoy a large salmon filet and rice.
