I was always undersized in middle school. I had a lot of friends, but I was the guy that everyone always picked on. Went down a bad path from 18-21 and started drinking profusely. I bought a weight set one day and my gf at the time said I'd never use it, that I'm too lazy. Dumped the gf and the rest is history!

It's a challenge to constantly make progress and push yourself further with every workout. The feeling after having put your body through something you once never thought possible is just too amazing for words. I love the pump, the sweat, the nausea during leg training, the challenge it takes to follow a strict diet regimen, the soreness, and the health benefits. It's one hobby that I hope to keep for the rest of my days.
