See in the UK that would NEVER happen.
Our rugby team for example. Last year our 'varsity team' top 50 in the country (probably) trained for an hour per week. The concept of 'sport' here is a joke.
What were you like back in high school, athletically/physically speaking?

lots of times less is more.
Never did sports for high school, but I played soccer in the city leagues , and started to lift when I was about 15, because I was scrawny as hell. We had a good weightroom, but was always used by the football team who always chastized me for not playing. Didn't get big until late senior year, but still playing soccer and on occassion ultimate frisbee. But I was also considered the brains throughout high school. Started and stopped smoking pot at a relatively young age, so my GPA jumped from 2.6 to 3.8 because of motivation.
Now all the people who chastized me for not playing football are alcoholics that I can outplay in any senario.

Went to school to play soccer and run the 100m. I did just enough to get me through the classes. I used to go and surf at morning break then again at lunchtime. That was between swimming for club every morning and soccer at night.
I was in the best shape back then, big powerful and confident. Sunday was my only day that I didnt do anything. Apart from surf.
Then I met the love of my life and had other priorities.

I was a standard nerd. Never really had a lot of friends, but I think I got along with everyone pretty well. Of sports, I though I really like football so I decided to join at 10th grade. Man, it was totally different. I sort of regret playing since I felt like a total failure. Never got to play, but I think I cheered the team on well. In 12th, I decided to call it quits near the end of the season since I wasn't really going anywhere. As for my weight, I was like 220 pounds, and by the end of college, I was nearly 250 pounds. Now after a year of exercise and eating right, I've managed to about 180. Went down to 160 once, but it wasn't what I wanted.
Lol that is the opposite of how its meant to go
I think you have it backwards....
Wow, the "trainers" at my gym haven't even heard of deadlifts and some of them think squats are bad for you.
Anyway, I was/am a nerd, a dammed good nerd btw. I was a fat nerd about a year or so ago, but I've since lost 50 lbs. Started lifting in middle school. But I dind't actually know how to lift until like a year ago when i started squats and deads. Didn't/don't do any drugs or drink... I'm pretty lame actually. But hey, I do squats and deads.
Your right man. UK sport is a joke. The yanks seem to take it so seriously.
Wish we did in a way.
I was a very skinny cross country runner in school, about 10/11 stone (140-154lbs). I wasn’t that fast at sprinting though until I hit about 15 and then I got very, very fast but not much heavier though. I played in the football, athletics and rugby teams
And yeah, UK sport in schools is a joke, it's not taken seriously at all

Still nerdy, shy and weak. I don't have the genetics for strength gain but i want to look like i am strong.
I was pretty much Mr. Average all around when it came to school...average in the class room and average on the sports field, average height, i have brown hair and brown eyes...Whatever sport i was playing, i was always in the B team...Every team sport i had at school had three teams (A, B, C)...and my skill level just happened to fall right into the middle, which was good because the A level guys were too serious and the C level guys were too crap, plus most of my friends were in the team i was in...worked out well.
In primary school it was a completely different story...I was always in the top teams (i played cricket and soccer btw) and I always won the sprint track events. I've gone as far as representing my metropolitan area for the 100 and 200...It's a shame that when guys get to high school that they actually start training

Not in my dreams, you're not. :luxlove:
No, really. I have yet to see you draw anything. Well, not with a pencil or a paintbrush anyway.

I have my art portfolio link in my profile I believe.. Not like I'm trying to.. you know.. get people to look or anything... :yelrotflmao:
You may find this hard to believe, but surfing fitness.com does not feature in my dreams. Also, I've already seen it (from the last time I ogled you, on the other forum hahaha). Anything new and exciting?

I was talking about your art. I'm not that easy. I expect flowers and chocolates first.
