After skating roller derby for 3 years, I was sidelined with an injury (nerve damage). I found that I still needed a physical outlet, and was sick of being the "skinny guy" and wanted to look better, so I started hitting the gym.

I'm not gonna lie, I do it mainly for vanity. Every extra pound on the scale or 1/4 inch in my measurements is a small victory for me. I've also noticed that I sleep better, have more energy, and my nerve damage bothers me less.
