Since I finished highschool (many years ago) I started getting fatter and fatter and finally I decided I wanted my life to be healthy and comfortable (InshaAllah). I started doing only cardio first; then I was referred to "Pumping Iron" (That legendary film) the rest is history...lol I don't have any unrealistic goals for myself and I don't think 200Ibs @12 percent bodyfat is asking too much of my genetics :).

I love the feeling of accomplishment after a hard workout and the reaped benefits of all that hard work. There are countless other reasons why I love bodybuilding from the amazing body transformations to stress relief. I wish I'd started this lifestyle 12 years ago.
