Joey awoke from his slumber. Today was the day he'd be travelling to "Athletic Club", a bodybuilding summer camp. It started off as a simple request online, “Workout advice for an 18-year-old 6’0 121Ibs guy”, in a forum for young upcoming bodybuilders.

With no knowledge of working out, he hoped to find someone who’d help as his current physique is less than ideal; skinny arms, thin thighs, and a torso that could be blown by a breeze. Feeling like he should look age-appropriate by now, and not like some 12-year-old-looking that could barely carry a few groceries from the car to the house.

On presenting the idea of the worthwhile summer outreach for the new hobby he picked up, Joey sat in front of his Dad at the dinner table, with his phone prepared to show what this summer camp looked like.

“Oh, what is that ?” his Dad asks, wondering when his son decided to have another hobby other than playing games all day.

“Bodybuilding. I think I want to try out bodybuilding...” Joey replied proudly.

Joey's dad’s eyes widened with doubt. “Huh... I mean that’s interesting, Joey. But this is completely unexpected, especially from you.” 

“Yeah, actually. I’ve been going to the school gym for two weeks now and I've met a few lads there that attended this camp last year... I think it’d be good for me.” Joey showed the photos of the site itself, all its facilities and some of the guy's transformations over the 6-week period.

His Dad agreed it looked promising, “This guy looks about your age and he’s changed a lot... I’d love to put you here but looking at the place, it looks pretty pricey. 

“$200, that’s what they told me will be the cost of the entire thing. But it would depend on my end if I’m satisfied with the progress I’ve made there. So it’ll go up from there if I want to continue on for longer.”

“Oh, oh ok not bad not bad at all ” His Dad scratched his chin.

His Dad considers. “Well, if it’ll be based on what your progress there is, I’m sure you'll just be on the lower end of things right? Unless you really want to get huge in this camp, but I doubt you will in a couple of months.” His Dad chortled. Joey cringed slightly.

His Dad kindly paid for the summer camp in return Joey made the most out of it and it wasn't just one of those summer flings. Joey was adamant he would work his ass off.

He packed the last of his bags and stared at his puny body in the mirror and scoffed. "Uh!" He couldn't wait to see how big he would get!

On leaving for camp he hugged his Dad tightly. Excitement and suspense bloomed inside of him.

The bodybuilding camp "Athletic Club" was everything he even dreamed of as he arrived. This huge 2 story gym could house at least 100 people and was packed with equipment, and supplements and had some of the best trainers and facilities in the country. A slight lump formed in his throat this was it... he strolled inside. Little did he know big things were coming.
