in junior high because of hockey. i was the classic bench n curler for the first few years. it evolved from there.

my weight lifting is the only time that I have all to myself where i can let all of my worries fade and concentrate on nothing but my lifts. no clients, no kids, no wife (except when she lifts with me). just me and my workout. I love waking up when it's still dark outside and putting in 2 hours of hard work before i start my day at work. i don't know how people manage the stress of daily life without vigorous physical activity.
