When I Started:
How I Started:
I use to get picked on for being the smallest guy around. I dreamt of professional sport but my size kept me from it. It stripped me of my confidence and will to take what was mine. The moment I picked up that 1st dumbbell was the moment I picked up the reigns and took control of my own life.
Why I Love It:
Its the most honest experience in this world. Whether your having a good day or a bad day at work. Whether you girl is cheating on you or your bank account is empty. 200 pounds stays 200 pounds. The weight never changes. It doesn't care what you look like, it doesn't judge your past or question your future. Either you can lift the weight or you can't. It's black and white. No bull****.
How I Stay Motivated:
Diary of a freak - writing my blog helps keep me focussed on the battle at hand. Check it out, might help you too

I’m sitting outside a small coffee shop in Johannesburg waiting to go into a meeting. I have an awesome view of an old abandoned mine shaft. All that’s left from this once glorious mine, is the skeleton of an old shaft sinker and the faint echo of men rejoicing for they have found Elysium....

Sweet. Its always nice to mix it up a little here and there. Different atmosphere different people, always makes for a good workout. I myself have 4 different gyms that I rotate through just to keep it interesting.
