I started a few years back mostly out of boredom and a need to do something different with my life. I was partying way to much. I became addicted to drugs and destroyed my body. I started working out to give myself something to do with my time, keep my body busy so my mind wouldn't be thinking about using. I fell in love with training almost at once. It has not only help build my body back up, but has helped me remain clean and has helped save my life.

I love working out because it is so physical. I love to push myself to the limit just to see how far I can go. And the feeling you get when your workout is over and your endorphins are going like crazy is the best.

I stay motivated by seeing what others have done with there bodies. I know that these people have spent years at building their bodies. I tell myself that I can achieve these same results. Each workout is like a brick, and it takes a lot of bricks to build your house

I just recently hit 315lbs. on the bench. When I first started out all I really wanted was a big bench like most guys. 315 was the first goal that I set for myself and to finally hit it was awesome.
