I got into lifting when I started playing football, but it wasn't until I returned home from a 2 year church mission that I actually had direction in the sport of bodybuilding. People kept telling me that I should compete in men's physique, so that's where I'm at now! I'm now a sponsored fitness competitor, sponsored my Eat The Bear. You can follow me on Instagram, austin0983!

It gives me direction in the gym. Other than the standard "I just wanna get huge", I now go into the gym with the mindset of "ok, this is what I'm here to work on, let's get it done!"
