My brother(3 years older) was always into football & lifting which helped turn me on to it. But I also grew up watching Rob Lipsett, Zac Perna, Mike Thurston and David Laid who really inspired me to start lifting and building my ideal physique.

On a deeper level, bodybuilding is almost like a spirituality or martial art. Your gym is your dojo and where you work to fine tune your technique or form. Working out is a meditation, a form of destruction and a lay to relieve stress. By breaking down your muscles and rebuilding them. You build the foundation of your body and through your own hard work you can create yourself in a new way.
