I grew up in the 80's. My hero were Stallone, and Schwarzenegger, Lundgren, and of course, Bruce Lee. I did a lot of bodyweight exercise, and practiced a kind of street martial art from the time I was 13, until I got to college. A lot of my friends were athletes, and they dragged me in the Gym, and taught me the Art of Iron. I have been doing it ever since.

I love pushing myself. I guess I watched one too many Stalone movies when I was younger. I love how I feel after a workout, and how I feel being in shape and having the ability to do more than my peers. I know its ego, but when I get older, I want people my age to be jealous, and those younger than me to see what is possible.
