Background

When I Started: Aug 2004
HOW I STARTED:

I am a TRUE skinny guy. Typically my frame was not built for strength and power. I don't build muscle easily and I lose weight quickly. I have small wrists, long arms (73 wingspan @ 5'9), narrow clavicles and a long neck. That before picture is me in my late 20's. I started reading about it in high school (1991) because I was one of the skinniest guys in my class. I have always been smaller/shorter than all the men in my family. I didn't follow a routine and diet till 2004 though

WHY I LOVE IT:

First I just want to be accepted. Now I that I finally look "athletic" I know hard work and consistency will be rewarded in due time. I was told I motivate others. I like seeing the changes in my body. I love the fact that I am in better shape than I was in my twenties and all the men in my family.
