My dad bought a Bowflex when I was 13 and showed his copy of Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty. I was fascinated. Then and there I decided I wanted to be a bodybuilder. After years of half ass training, I finally got serious. I started training while on deployment to Iraq.

Chicks dig it...and well...I want to look great and live a long and healthy life. When I get a good pump in the gym, I feel on top of the world; nothing can stop me. Moving heavy weight and hearing clanking iron and steel flips a switch inside my body. I go crazy. Trying to squeeze out that last forced rep while my eyes are about to pop out of my skull. The compliments I get about my progress from my friends and family. That is why I love bodybuilding.
