I started lifting when i was around 13 but didn't actually get into it until i turned 14 and went up to the high school to weight lift for football. Once i started lifting i got hooked and it has been my passion. Since that time, i actually decided to take another route and do XC. Either way, I still lift and I'm in it for life

I love lifting because it makes me feel like i am actually someone, it gives me respect and it allows me to do things i would never imagine of doing before. When i have the bar or dumbbell in my hand it just feels right. Weightlifting also just makes my body feel good after words because of the blood pumping through my muscles, and its like no other feeling Ive felt before.
