I've been lifting at home for 15 weeks now. I've got a whole lot stronger and gained 7 lbs.

I weigh 124lbs and i'm repping 155lbs 8 times. Yesterday i try and put in 175 to see if i can max out and i did.

Everything in me is defined. legs, abs, chest, arms, neck. I can whip out 20 dead hang pullup easily, 100 crunches no more than 2 minutes, etc...

Along with it, i'm seeing that i'm getting a new attitude.....

I don't know if it's good or bad, but it seems that i'm getting really cocky now. Invincible kinda deal.

Like i would have no problem stepping in someone's face that is much taller & weigh more than me....

Is this a good thing?

I mean, i don't go out and look for fights or anything, but just that i feel so cocky sometimes that i'm not afraid to followup on someone's smart comment towards me. Even if he's taller & bigger than me.

Easy. You concentrate on lifting more, and you don't let people get to you.

Are you a man? I'm not all that large and in charge but I do outweigh you by over 100 pounds. If you don't gain more weight you better be Bruce Lee fast or I'll swat you like a gnat on my ass.

keep the attitude humble or it will backfire on you.

Been lifting for 20 years and have a lot of guy friends who either
Have the attitude or Don't have it

best advice....confidence is great
overconfidence....you might go a little too high and fall a little too hard

The more i lift, the stronger i get, the more cocky & confident i am. LOL.


I already feel like my coc just grew 2 extra inches, and i am walking 2 feet taller than everyone else when i'm walking around campus.

Every other day at home I do a pushup routine, something like ~150 pushups or so. I feel pretty bad-ass after doing those along with situps and crunches. Then on the other days I go to the gym and do a 'normal' workout. I feel like a loser when I go to the gym!

So, do that: go to the gym where there are people who are >> you then you won't feel cocky any longer!

When you're young, you are invincible. Everything heals. So go nuts. It builds character.

As big as you get, if you don't know how to actually fight and use that strength, you can and will get your ass handed to you.

Realize the guys that are 200 and 250 who arent "that cut" could possibly lift a lot more then you, and they have pure mass on their side. A lot of the smaller kids I knew could put up 175, but when the big boys are repping 245 and 275, you gotta know when to check yourself. Sure you may come out on top a few times, but when you come out on the bottom, you are going to be HURTING.

Lift more until you really are at least unstoppable to the average man. But even then, lifting doesn't teach you how to fight. Don't start sh1t if you don't know how to fight.
