When I Started:
Oct, 2000
How I Started:
I began lifting in highschool for football, but was never extremely serious about it. Then I started college and due to a free gym membership, decided it was time to get serious about lifting weights. I've been working out diligently ever since.
Why I Love It:
There is nothing like the feeling you have driving home after you have had an awesome workout. Getting noticed for your changes is also a plus.
How I Stay Motivated:
It's become second nature for me and if I miss a workout I feel as if I forgot to eat, sleep or shower. Having an "ideal" body type to strive for and reminding yourself of it when you feel particularly unmotivated is a great way to regain your drive though.

thanks for the grey rep. I didn't explain everything because his statements were obviously incorrect. I don't need to explain why 2+2 does not = 3, do I?
