Iââ¬â¢ve always trained due to always being involved in a sport growing up. Weights really werenââ¬â¢t involved until high school when I became involved in football and track. I was a competitive sprinter for about 10 years. To compete competitively and specifically for bodybuilding, I would say it started in 2010. I saw a flier for an NPC show hung up at the entrance of a grocery store and decided, why not. I had no idea what I was doing and bought Arnolds body building encyclopedia and watched tons of youtube videos. I took 6th of 12 in my class. I saw my body changing and what could become and I became infatuated with the sport and it caught me like a wildfire. I havenââ¬â¢t stopped competing since and have crossed over to Menââ¬â¢s Physique, testing the waters in 2012 to see if I liked it and wound up winning!
I love lifting for aesthetic purposes and for my health. I love seeing the daily changes and the opportunities to always better my best. My main goal is to inspire those and show that injury or stress is only temporary and to live a healthy eustress lifestyle! Eat right, lift right, sleep right!
