I was 6'0" 125 at 18. I didn't start lifting until I was around 24. A friend who broke the Marine Corp bench press record a couple years earlier, and had stayed with weightlifting, had to come and live with me while he recovered from a broken leg. We set up a little gym in the living room and he showed me how to train and got me started. I laugh looking back at it now because he had to do 50 rep sets because I didn't have enough weights for him to train with. He was very patient with me.
Because I spent (wasted) my entire youth in a street gang I never really needed size because I always had numbers. So I guess you could say I was ugly in a different way.
Looking back I wish I had found all this earlier so I would have accomplished something, anything, with the first 23 years of my life.
