My older brother started lifting weights before me when I was playing on a football team. During the last game of the season I suffered a minor shoulder injury. So after the season ended I waited until my shoulder almost fully healed, then I began bodybuilding with my brother. I was already pretty strong for my age unlike my brother, so I decided that I would probably be pretty good at it.

It gives me something to do that feels rewarding. Although it gets tough sometimes, its still something I enjoy.
