I got my start in the gym when I was a sophomore in high school. I weighed in at about 120 lbs and was told I was too skinny to take part in sports so I decided to sign up for an after school lifting program with a couple of my buddies. After seeing an increase in mass as well as strength gains I was hooked. After lifting for some time my original reason for starting to lift had become less important as I began to develop a desire to hit the gym just to see how I am able to challenge myself every time I go.

I love working out because of the feeling of accomplishment after an intense workout session as well as becoming more aware of my own bodies strengths and weaknesses. Another thing I love about working out is the ability to get creative and unorthodox with the planning of different work outs.
