Strength training for football freshman year in high school. Kept working out on and off after high school. Finally decided to get serious October 2011, actually reading into and researching diet, nutrition, lifting.

More often than not, no matter how my day went or how i feel prior to working out, i leave the gym feeling great! Also i love seeing how every exercise affects each muscle that i'm focusing on.

I love playing beach volleyball, but my knees and a recent shoulder impingement are being big hindrances, feelsbadman. Hopefully with the proper training i can keep on playing well into my older years. if not, i can just focus on getting shredded. win/win?
