Ever since I was about 12 years old, I wanted to get bigger and stronger. Since my brother lifts and he is getting pretty big, he influenced me. I looked up bodybuilders and read Muscle and Fitness magazines and that really got me going. So around when I turned 14, I decided to lift. I was the weakest in my class and I was skinny. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger to improve my self image. I wanted to feel better and live healthier. Bodybuilding seemed pretty cool. I was always shy and I didn't want to tell my parents I wanted to lift. But ever since I started lifting, I'm starting to come out of my shy shell. Plus, now I have been noticing people's muscles and it gets me going because I know I can get bigger and get closer to my goals. I always got excited when I saw bodybuilders because that's what I always wanted to be. I love lifting! It's just a great feeling!

I love working out because it's just the feeling of coming closer to what you want. I also love it because it may be hard, but it's fun!

I stay motivated by talking to the people in the Bodybuilding Chatrooms and looking at bodybuilders on the internet and also looking at Muscle and Fitness.

As a Bodybuilder Once Told Me, "Dream Big"...Oh wait, nevermind, that's from the Mega Millions Commercial!
