I started weight lifting very first in 2008 when I was 14 years old. My cousin and I were inspired by watching the MetRx World's Strongest Man shows. After this, I bought a small sized bench with a leg extension accessory from Sports Authority and built up my own little gym in my basement from there. It soon became an addiction for me. Obviously I had no idea about how to train and rest properly, but I loved it.

The best feeling in the world is working as hard as you can towards a goal and accomplishing it while seeing results. This is why I love weightlifting, and is also how I stay motivated.
