To be honest, I started bodybuilding at the age of 16 and ended at 17 for one reason. Although it looked quite aesthetically pleasing for a time, you eventually come to learn that being a giant bodybuilder is useless because you're so slow and it's hard to find clothes and it's annoying to deal with those clothes that keep tearing and having to eat so much. It's just ridiculous, it's not necessary and overtraining is just crazy. The best type of training is to use some weights but to make sure that it gets your strength, not the size. And then to do other types of combat sports that way you're able to move fast, you're able to have good reflexes to dodge and defend yourself properly. That way you never have to be worried that someone's just going to randomly come up and beat you to death.

My experiences with bodybuilding is that it's really, really fun. So when I was in high school, I weighed a bit too much, and then I dieted down quite a bit, and then I was probably too thin. And then I started playing sports and probably got up to still on the thinner side, but a good weight. And then in the last few years of my life, I've been kind of indecisive about what my fitness goals are. And so I just started eating a lot more food and lifting a lot heavier weights. And it was a really fun process. I live with some of the mass that I've still put on my body, some of it muscle, some of it fat. And I'm even in the process right now, I'm cleaning up my diet and trying to get that fat off again. But it's fun. It's very rewarding. And if you can do it injury free, which minor injuries are bound to happen. But if you can avoid major injuries, unlike myself, it's even more fun. But I think most people would benefit from strength training of some kind. And you're not going to look like Arnold on day one.
