I have come across this question a lot lately and I cannot remember one pivotal point that made me get into bodybuilding. I remember about 4 years ago having a close girlfriend that loved to lift. She did a 10 week program that involved lifting and cardio and she was very successful. After that I started to follow inspirational fitness figures such as Jamie Eason, Erin Stern, Nicole Wilkins, DLB, etc. All of these ladies have been a true inspiration. I love how lifting makes me feel and I look forward to building a better body.

I love bodybuilding because it makes me feel at peace. It is so weird to say that because it is when I work my absolute hardest. There is peace in having my headphones out and zoning out on burning out my muscles. I love bodybuilding because it is really limitless...you can ALWAYS lift more weight and set new goals. That is refreshing to me.
