Well, I was 5'3 and 135lbs the start of my Sophmore year of high school and tired of getting picked on. So, i joined the football team with some of my buddies and started lifting. And have tried to continue to challenge myself as much as possible ever since.

It's a healthy release of stress and it gives me a place to completely lose myself in my own little world. And it's the one thing in this world that i can completely control every bit of.
