In my ait we had all of the latest muscle mags out all the time . At first i used to mock the huge bodybuilders but overtime i came to admire their outstanding physiques and symmetry and gradually started to want to look more like them...jus not as enormous and with more emphasis on brute strength, something i lacked as a skinny nerdy child...powerbuilding if you will. Lately have devoloped a love for Crossfit and Strongman training with a desire to compete in both..particularly try out for the 2014 crossfit regional quals.

I love the constant struggle and challenge it presents. Whenever people tell u you're not gonna be able to do it or you cant do it and you do it and throw it all in their faces. It's the feeling of showing all the haters who think that they're better than you that they're not and making them feel like complete jackasses for ever doubting you. The feeling of starting out as small and skinny as i used to be and now being strong and bigger than anyone remembers me is what makes me keep doing it. I live for the pump, the soreness, the swoleness, just waking up after a brutal leg workout and not being to walk right for a week is one of the best feelings in the world for me. Being in the army it may seem like a challenge to some to workout after 12 hour shifts, but i have used every lesson the army has taught me to make a better man for myself and no matter how tired or pressed for time i may be, i always find a way into the gym, somehow or another. I simply want to be the best at what i do and wont let anyone or anything get in my way.
