Started lifting with a buddy of mine freshman year in college. Been lifting on and off since then, but not really pushing myself to my full potential. I've gotten in the habit of getting discouraged and quitting for a month or two once I hit a plateau that I have trouble getting past. In it for the long run this time, however!

It makes me feel and look great! Nothing beats the feeling of being sore the day following a hard workout and knowing that I am making myself better and stronger.
