I started off as a kid just lifting here and there but never anything serious. It wasn't until 7 years ago that I got serious about lifting weights and it was mainly just to get in shape but I didn't really know what I was doing nor did I have proper nutrition. I was just popping supplements and doing what I could. I blew out my AC joint doing overhead presses and was laid up for about 4 years because of a lack of diagnosis and continuing to overexert myself.

I love working out because I enjoy the peace of mind that comes with. No matter what is going on in life or anything else, I'm able to escape it just for a little while and think about doing whatever task I have before me. No outside distractions.
