I got into it as soon as i started high school. When I saw one of my older friends looking huge, I felt the urge to just become... HUGE.

I love working out, because it's just addicting. I don't need drugs or alcohol to feel good, that stuff's all fake. What really makes me feel good is the pump. In the great words of Henry Rollins, "The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back... I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend."
