I started lifting in 8th grade for football, just a three times a week plan with your basic lifts. It became a new hobby of mine. Once getting into high school seeing all the huge upperclassmen in the weight room inspired me to get big and become the best i could, the hobby became a passion. After high school I became enlisted in the Navy as security forces where i got to meet a lot of great people who motivated me even more! Eventually I was no longer worried about being the biggest or strongest when i learned of physique and fitness bodybuilding and fell in love. After learning about the art of aesthetics my passion soon became an obsession =)
There is no reason in my mind that someone should not strive to be as healthy and fit as possible. There is no great feeling in the world then taking your shirt off after a good work out and seeing the progress you have made, you can not help it! you have to just smile =)
