I was first intoduced into lifting by a close friend who was always in great shape, as I wanted to be after really seeing the praise and respect he had.

I love bodybuilding because of the somple fact that it is one of the hardest things in the world to achieve. It's a 24/7 sport that requires every bit of your attention. It shows dedication and persistence, which are the only thing I value in people anymore. You can achieve such great things with just a little hard work, and even more dedication brings you to whole new levels. Bodybuilding allows you to shape your body into what is nowadays seen as "perfection," and who doesn't want to look perfect?
