I've suffered from chronic headaches, back and joint pain since I was 15 years old. Due to job stress over the last few years I've put on a lot of pounds, despite being fairly active. I got to the point where I was just sick of hurting all the time and decided I'm going to GET STRONG so my joints have no more excuse to hurt.

Endorphins, and a strong sense of accomplishment when I outdo what I thought I could do.
