I just remembered the first time someone actually taught me properly how to work out was a member from RS. He drove a motorcycle and I forgot his username but he moved out of BC after a while. Taught me that working out is to push limits and told me to work hard every workout. From then on, I was pretty serious every workout instead of slacking off and thinking "I'm just going to stay in shape". He taught me a lot even from the basics and didn't mind I was ruining his workout while teaching me, but I wanted to actually quickly boost to his level as fast as I could even though I knew it took time.

Started benching 20's to 40's and eventually 50's in a short amount of time by motivating me all the and pushing my limits. I remember him saying that "it's all in the mind, if you think 50's are heavy, then it is, if you think its just a number; then you'll do fine". I still have so much to learn but he really taught me a lot. Weirdest feeling working out with him was that I didn't care how red I was after the workout, or how sweaty or how much pain I was in, I was so focused I didn't even care about anything other than the next set after his turn. Eventually he had to leave and I was left alone to motivate myself.

Great guy. Happened about 2 years ago but I'm pretty grateful I met a guy like him and just remembered. Thanks RS
