Essentially, began by fooling around with my father's weights in the basement. Began seriously working out in the Fall of 2005, after successfully dropping 65lbs the semester before as a result of a Grade 10 phys. ed. class. While competing in provincial track and field, began to take working out and fitness more seriously.
