I got started after I was fed up with being scrawny. Im 6'4 and at the time was around 160lbs or less. An MMA enthusiast, I always wanted a fighters body composition. Lean and tough. So I got a gym membership and immersed into lifting. Havent looked back since.

It gives me motivation to push myself and achieve something. I understand now why avid lifters are some of the most strong minded people.
