I've always been an active person. As a kid i rode my bike religiously or ran everywhere. It got to the point as I grew up and had an interest in sports I enrolled in fitness and athletic camps during the summer. I absolutely loved participating and competing with other peers. "who's faster?" , "who's stronger". It wasn't until about middle school until I really started trying to develop my body and add muscle to my frame. I broke my arm playing football and the result was that I didn't get to participate in p.e.. However, my teacher and i came up with an alternative plan... With the way my cast was set it was perfect for bench pressing on the bench machine that looked like it hadn't seen the light of day in almost 20 years. I was hooked then with "how much can I do?"

I love the feeling of muscle tightness and fullness especially after a good workout and my muscles are engorged. Biggest and foremost reason would have to be i love challenging myself and pushing my limits and seeing physical changes.
