My Stepfather inspired me to workout when I was 11 years old. One day he was showing off bouncing his pecs in front of me. When I saw this I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. He told me the way he harnessed this talent was by doing at least 100 push-ups a day in the military. So after hearing this revelation I did push-ups every single day until eventually I was able to do the pec dance too.
Also playing football in Junior High was part of my introduction to weight training.

I love training for the simple fact that it keeps me healthy.Tough physical stress during training translates into a better quality of life.
