Lean Machine: Cover Model Ben Booker Talks With Simplyshredded.com
How did you get started with bodybuilding?
In high school I had to lift for sports but never got serious about lifting until I got in a wreck and broke my back three weeks into football season of my senior year. After about 2 months of bed rest, and 3 months of rehabilitation I began to lift weights to regain some strength. Missing all sports in my senior year, the first thing that I was able to do was bench press. I was 135 pounds when I got out of bed rest and 165 when I graduated. It was during college when I met a guy in the weight room that looked how I wanted to look, so I asked him for his workout. He gave me a bodybuilding book that I read and got his workout out of, it was called “Big Beyond Belief”. I have been on this same program now, on and off, ever since my freshman year in college.
It wasn’t until about 3 years ago, though, that I started combining the nutrition and supplementation that has sent my bodybuilding success through the roof!
