Well I first started just trying to get biger and stronger for the upcomeing football season. However 3 weeks before the end of the season I recieved a career ending injury to my neck. Afterward, I lost any hopes of a scholarship and the schools I had been speaking with were no longer intrested. Although discouraged, i was determind not to be the "well I used to..." Person when it came to athletics and fitness. so i begain seriously weight training with bodybuilding as my guide to nutrition and training. After a few monts I was introduced to a guy who was close to my age who was a Bodybuilder. We begain to train together and after I had gained alittle good weight I decieded to do my first show. The rest is history.
In football and other sports you hang up your pads at the end of the day and thats it. Bodybuilding is not something you just hang up. Wether your eating or in the gym tearing it up, you have to be really focused on your goal. You have to live, eat, and breath Bodybuilding.
