More recently I got re-inspired to get in shape by looking around. I figured, with everyone out there having their own issues and still keeping in shape, what was my excuse? I started working out to become stronger, to make life easier.

I love it because it is addicting. Pushing the heavy weight as well as your body every workout provides such a sensation I can't replicate otherwise. The feeling I get after a 300 pound bench press or dead lift is unparalleled.
