Got a Bowflex from dad for a gift and started using that to lift. Turned it into a competition against a friend of mine to see who could become bigger.

I love it for the rush. The passion and effort it takes to sculpt a body from 155lbs of skinny kid to a sculpture that can be presented on stage. I love the challenge that is bodybuilding. How hard it is to constantly push yourself beyond what normal people would ever imagine doing. Most of all, though... I love it, because I can utilize it to help others achieve their goals and dreams!
