Some punk threatened me over a girl, so I went down to my basement and tore the hell out of the bench set, and I haven't looked back since.

Mainly because it's a great way of killing stress and building character, confidence, and hell, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like to look good. Other than that, I lift for Martial Arts conditioning, plus it gives me goals to accomplish on a consistant basis. Also, I am a lifetime drug-free lifter. No anabolics, no prohormones. Just a few basic supplements, lots of hard work and smart choices.
