I think I mentioned how my dad and I got dumbells so I could start lifting and I was wondering since he bought them if maybe he was accepting me (not really what this is about). I've been looking at workouts online and of course wishing I could look like these huge guys (knowing I could never get THAT big).

Just more disappointment if it's true, but then again, I guess it just means I have to do more than just lift. (Like T-shots or something).
