i have always been that lean ripped kid all my life, but never ever had any size behind it, so when my body had matured i knew it was time to start hitting weights hard and achieve what i had always seen in magazines.i started weight training at 16 and went to the gym allot till i turned 19 and then a switch went off... training became a lifestyle and a daily ritual, if i didnt get my workout in i was not a happy boy. it wasnt till march 2012 that training went from a lifestyle to a severe addiction that now was my life, and thats when i decided to start competing and training like never before. i quit drinking, parting and late nights starting in march and didnt touch alcohol in 2012 except on my birthday and for one other celebration, i have been to the bar 5 times in 2012, bodybuilding is now my life..

to me bodybuilding isnt going to the gym and showing i can lift heavy weight and making people look bad. to me bodybuilding is a way to escape reality, it doesnt matter what struggles i am going through, when i get into the gym i know i have one purpose for the next 1.5 hours and that is to beat the f*** out of myself and show my body it can leave its comfort zone and do things i dreamt of yesterday. everyday i watch kids, men, people of every age step into the gym and think they are gods gift to earth, well im sorry but good luck getting progress when you believe you are a champion, a gym isnt a place for an ego. i can be the biggest and most ripped guy in the gym on most days but when i walk through those doors i am nothing more than anyone else. ***it isnt about how much you can lift, its about how much someone thinks you can lift that is a motto that keeps me able to go in and doing focused workouts with less weight and numerous drop sets. who gives a f*** what you can lift if you cant do it perfect. working out ultimately is my way of gaining self confidence, escaping reality, and giving people younger and smaller something to strive toward
