I moved to Murfreesboro Tennessee in 2004 to attend school. I was bored out of my mind and had always wanted to become serious and consistent about weight training. I found a partner and began going to the gym nightly around 11pm each night. I was 145lbs when I began.
It is now 2012 and I am still going consistently and will do so for the remaider of my life!
As a kid, I was fascinated by muscular physiques. I used to flex with my Elementary school buddies to see who had the biggest muscles. I only played with muscular action figures and looked up to action heroes and sports figures with extremely muscular physiques.
As an adult, I finally began training regularyl in 2004 and have not stopped to this very day. I am sweating from my last workout as I type this. It has become part of my identity to be fit and I cannot imagine living any other type of lifestyle. I feel good physically and mentally. Every year is a new challenge to be better conditioned than the last year. I do not find enjoyment in alot of activities such as partying, etc. so I hit the gym and challenge my mind and body everyday. I am also training other individuals with hopes that they can feel the same "high" that I feel by being challenged everyday and overcoming those challenges. It is exciting to see your body change in ways that you've never thought possible and that is why I love bodybuilding.
