Initially, i've been skinny my entire life. Being referred to with tags such as a "stick" and "skinny" my entire life, it really brought me down. I learnt to deal with it overtime through gaming, where most my time would be dedicated to playing games, from Runescape, Call of duty, Final Fantasy... and hundreds more, but after break-up after breakup, (as cliche as it sounds) and having my gaming habits getting progressively worse - at the time, was addicted to League of Legends, I needed something that could really keep myself occupied and to release my stress - in a more, well positive manner and 'level up' in real life rather than through gaming. I then stumbled upon a video on Youtube from Zyzz, which had a persona and way of thinking really changed my life. Funny enough, I remember meeting him back Zyzz back when I was not into bodybuilding at Parramatta shops when I was 15 and regret not asking for a photo. His message was to train hard, and to not really give a f### because life was too short. Ive got to admit, the first few months of bulking.. lifting weights had also stopped some of my gains as I had no idea what I was doing, so if I had any advice, it would be to count your macros and dont take everything too "seriously".. I then met one of my bodybuilding inspirations Philray in Jan 2015 one week into lifting, through a party my mum brought me too which was a huge shock to me. & from there the rest is history... A coincidence? I think not. It was the spirit of zyzz.
I am still on my Journey, although all I can say now is that Lifting to me, is now a necessity not a chore.
