I remember the first time I started and how good it felt stepping in the gym for the first time. I was a skinny kid growing up and people always commented on how skinny I looked. I was lean, but they said I had no muscle. I never felt so good about how I was and eating junk food everyday wasn't helping either. I one day walked into a max muscle and the guy working there told me that what I was doing was never going to get me anywhere. I listened very closely and went home after and wrote a diet and started eating lots of healthy meals every 2 to three hours. I was also now a member at 24 hour fitness, so I put in 5 days of solid training. From that day on I fell in love with pump I get from the gym and the progression of my body. The same people that used to comment on me, now see me and are shocked how much muscle and vascularity I have. Working out fuels my fire and I wake up everyday wanting to take my body and mind to a whole new level.

For some people working out is to kill a little time in their day. For me working out is a lifestyle change and I wake up every morning looking forward to push my body to the limit for better results. I love seeing the veins bulge out and how my mind is so focused during working out. I forget about any negative situations in my life and only care about staying focused and positive. I love to see others staying fit and get to make friends with them. Its nice to share similar interest with others in the sport. I enjoy taking pictures and seeing my progression. Very often to people come over to me and say how are you so ripped? I tell them that I eat clean everyday and show to the gym with full intensity everyday no matter what. Even when others put me down I just look in the mirror and see the muscle and just smile, because I believe in myself from the confidence I have gained from staying fit.
