Was a decent tennis player through my 20's. After 5 knee surgeries, 3 kids, 2 marriages, and 1 super stressful occupation...I decided that I needed to get back into fighting shape. Tried spin, boot camp classes, and swimming. Even tried to get back into tennis. However, they were all too slow for me...I got bored. So, I started lifting. I followed the traditional 5x5 plan and I got strong...quick! So now, my drive is to lift more (more strength, more muscle) and see if I can rip this body up...

Pain is good...
