I was an athelete my entire life and I was always had some decent genetic gifts to be fit but was very thin my entire life and could not put on size. I was 9 years younger than my brother who was the opposite and enormous and i emulated him to a point so i wanted to start weight training to put on some size. When I first started I only did pullups and push ups because I was so small I did not want to stunt my growth...I am 5'7 and was convinced I would grow taller...Obviously I was wrong on that. haha.I took the past year off because my body took a beating with 2 torn pecs and compressed disc's inmy back so now I am ready to make a return and get back to old form on a smaller scale.

Bodybuilding is something I love because I love challenge. It frees my mind from the work day and is a great release.It has the benefit of building self confidence when you get your desired result. I just feel different when my activity level lowers.
