My brother got some free weights for Christmas 2002. I knew was going to public school next yr. and i was small. I feared be bullied, so being intimidating was my goal. My basic workout regimen gave me a taste for the iron. Added motivation, over the summer I longed to impress my crush at the local pool with new found biceps. That didn't work so well, she turned out to like my fat friend and went out with him. I failed to learn confidence beats muscle. But I found a new crush, crushing iron. Lucky me.I continued with sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups, and bicep curls Then came school where I learned I could workout after school everyday! I was in heaven! Unfortunately I didn't know what i was doing entirely, so i over trained.I got bigger, but not much stronger. 2007 I learned a whole lot more and training and eating right.

I love this because I love the power it gives. Strength is contagious. Looking good is nice, but the best part is how much vitality you receive!
