Serious training started around November of '07 but I was on and off at the gym since I was 18. I've been playing soccer since I was 5 but I was always the chubby kid. Back in 2006, I decided to go back playing soccer and got in touch with my goalkeeper side. I felt I was too slow and prone to injury a LOT. I eventually fractured my right elbow during a diving save so I was out of soccer. I decided to work out my soccer muscles and saw progress (it was all legs and abs exercises that I did and some cardio) so I figured to just go all the way and get into full body training when my arm got better. Been lifting every since. :)

It's my sanctuary. It gives me a sense of purpose and focus. Seeing the effects of CONSISTENT training with proper nutrition is mind-blowing!
