got motivated when this indian-from-bombay geek said that i can't do barbell rows with 150 lbs.

that made me train hard.

i now do 200 lbs now for 5 reps.

I started last year around August as something to do, not I don't know why I didn't start sooner (wish I did) .. still soft, still weak but not as weak and soft as before. I want to be stronger than most of my friends, also bigger/more cut for the summer.

I never really had a habit of anything except partying. Thank god i never had an addiction accept the old cancer sticks. I am glad i stopped partying at 23, because the same people who used to give me shit as a kid about partying are the ones who fuck their lives up as adults with drugs and shit.

If you were seriously only 18% you have one hell of a natural build.
