A short YouTube personal narrative by Peter Vander Wall describing his weightlifting journey: he began lifting at 17 during his freshman year of college with a poor, unbalanced routine (mostly chest and arms), then learned proper technique and programming by working with a friend doing personal training and consuming instructional content. As a result he has gained over 25 pounds of muscle since he started and now maintains his health and body with minimal effort.

Chapters

When I first started weightlifting I was 17 years old. I had just started my freshman year of college and I'm just at the college gym a couple times a week just like doing random exercises, right? And it mostly ended up being chest and arms. Like I didn't know how to do legs. I don't think I even knew you had to do back. I didn't know that was a muscle group you had to exercise. Like I didn't know what I was doing and so I didn't see any kind of results. But finally I took the time to learn the skill of weightlifting. I spent some time with a friend of mine who was doing some personal training stuff at the time. I consumed a ton of content on how to build workout plans and how to lift with the correct form. And now today I've put on 25 plus pounds of muscle since I first started lifting and I'm able to stay on top of my health and my body with pretty minimal effort.
