I started working out in highschool for football. I hurt my back and just fell away from athletics. I got back into it many years later, lost a ton of weight but my health failed and prevented me from working out with any consistency. These problems have been taken care of and I'm excited about getting back into the routine of eating clean and working hard.

I love working out because of the rush I get. I am my own biggest critic and I love proving myself wrong time and time again. It's exhilarating to push yourself beyond what you thought was possible. I love it because the weights never lie. There's no deception. You can either do it, or you can't. I love it because in that moment when you squeeze that muscle lifting that weight the world falls away and you are singular in your purpose. It is a beautiful thing.
