Freshman year in high school was asked by basketball coach to demonstrate bench press. Never had done it before but tried it and actually had decent form. I lifted a whopping 95 lbs for a few reps then racked it. That was my first experience lifting a weight. Got hooked and have been lifting on and off for a few years.

Keeps my mind clear, helps me sleep better at night. You meet some of the most motivated people in the world at the gym. Their positive attitude rubs off and influences you to reach your potential. Success in the gym carries over to success in all other aspects of life and that is why I love it.
