I always wanted to be a bodybuilder. I remember myself as a child seeing all those bodies in the magazines and coming back home so motivated that I couldn’t sleep. I was awake until late doing push ups and crunches in my room with the lights off. My parents always refused because they believed all those myths about bodybuilding. They got me involved in other sports, but I was really hooked into bodybuilding. It was until my sister was born that I had a chance to escape to the gym a couple of hours everyday.

The greatest feelings I have had came due to bodybuilding. I developed my character because of bodybuilding. The most precious moments I have ever had came from bodybuilding, too. Bodybuilding has given me a reason to live when everything else is gone. When I was a teen, it made me become responsible of myself, and now, it’s my way of life. Bodybuilding saved me from end up like my party mates. Thanks to bodybuilding, I stayed away from drugs and alcohol. Bodybuilding is one of the most valuable gifts that God has given me.
