Started lifting when I was 120 pounds at 16 years old. I was in wrestling, and tired of taking a beating by the stronger guys. So I came back as a junior at 140lbs, then 152lbs my senior year and was the strongest competitor in my weight class. From there I've just lifted off and on throughout college, making slow strength progress.

In 2012, I've been trying to take it to a new level. I've gone through a few bulk and cut phases. With a goal more towards the bodybuilding look.

Relieve stress, watch my body change, and the feeling of doing one more rep or a few more lbs then I did last time at the gym. Also enjoy panting, dry heaving, and sweating during a hard work out. As well as feeling confident about myself, and turning heads.
