And this, kids, is how I was blessed with gains even before I know it. This is 2008, my first and really only full visit to Dragon*Con, and that's @ferrignolegacy himself, Lou Ferrigno, stopping to take a picture with a geeky little 21 year old kid who had no aspirations of ever gaining muscle himself. It's odd to think about how I came or actually love everything about lifting since then. I MIGHT have weighed 165 in that pic. And none of it was muscle. #supersoldier #barsandstripes #thisiswhy #becausewecan #powerlifting #strongman #bodybuilding #alabama #workhard #monstermaker #neverdefeated #uspa #nas #npc #followme #bentbarbell #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #instafit #swolemony #swolemates #marriage #forthefondrens #soflete
