I started to train when I was 14 for football. I trained heavy and hard to gain as much mass and strength as I could back then. I then suffered a serious neck injury and couldn't go too heavy when
I was out of commission. I started to incorporate more athletic and bodybuilding type workouts. I then was seeing better results in appearance along with eating cleaner than I did when I started.

I love working out for probably a lot of the same reasons every other fitness buff does. It makes me feel great, look great. Everything is better when you are in shape- sleep, mindset, etc. I now stay away from more serious injuries that keep me out of action long term than
I was when playing contact sports.
