NO, not sex you poopy heads, and NO, not being abducted by aliens. Then what is it...

Who was the first bodybuiler's picture that you saw (if you remember)

and What was the first BB movie or clip you saw.

It first started after I got into bodybuilding, I typed in the word "FLEX" on altavista and did a search for pictures, the picture I saw was Ronnie Coleman on a flex mag cover. Looking at his biceps left me speechless, I then knew what kind of monsters were living in this world. Well this is the first pic I saw, and it really "popped" my cherry and got me into hardcore BB.

The first vid clip I saw was Dorian Yates at the 1992 Olympia and I was "SHOCKED" to see something like that. My brother was watching it with me. To see a picture is one thing, but to see 240lbs. moving around and posing on stage is a whole new level.

I saw something on the news I think when I was about 6 years old (maybe younger), about some bodybuilding event. I remember I thought they looked so f*cking cool, probably not understanding quite what it was... Just that I wanted to look like that.

my first time was when i was unpacking"moving into a new apartment"and came across a video i had bought back in 1987 and a used first edition of arnolds "bible of the gym"book..which i still treasure today..i sat down and took off the plastic wrapper to the video and sat there and watched pumping iron and at the same time opened arnolds book to the chapter titled..training the mind.and since then i've been traing hard core style..been to many gyms..some fancy..some like the one ronnie goes too...i've seen young guys who claimed that hard core was stupid and watched as a few months they'd quit and give up..they must have been girly men..hee hee

I was on sports tour and one of the guys I was with is an aspiring bodybuilder and I borrowed his copy of 'Muscle and Fitness' to read. I can't remember who I was looking at, but it was at that moment that I didn't want to look 'toned and muscular', I wanted to look 'huge and ripped'.

I remember seeing Lee Priest on a bodybuilding contest that was on TV when I was about 8 or 9. It stuck in my mind for a few reasons; he was so freakin short, had VERY blonde hair, he was from Australia and most importantly was one massive dude. Never forgot that and when I got into bodybuilding years later and saw his picture I knew it was him straight away.

Wow, that's some great shit you guys posted. Yeah, when you see that shit your first time your fucking amazed, I didn't even think that there were people like that out in the world. The human body is an amazing thing and it truly has NO LIMITS...

I played with He-man when I was 6-8 I think. I had always been impressed by big muscles. It just comes natural to me. Can't imagine no to train. I would be very depressed.

Yeah, forgot Arnold... He is impressive to a little kid or teenager!
