After a series of incredibly bad choices between 2006-2008 my weight shot up to 140kg - with it came a profound sense of self-loathing and unhappiness. After slowly dropping my weight over the years to 95-98kg I hit a plateau and decided to start working out at home. Eventually that was no longer enough and I signed up to a gym for heavier lifts, not only to drop further body fat weight, but to build a body I can take pride in.

The pump. It's addictive.
