When I was about 16 years old, I was very overweight and out of shape. I used to get teased a lot when I was younger, and it really got on my nerves. When the summer came around, me and a friend of mine decided to join a gym, so we did. We worked out the entire summer, and made fantastic gains. When we got back to school the following fall, we had completely changed our physiques.

It provides a positive outlet for me, and keeps some sort of structure in my life.
