I always looked up to guys like Arnold and always wanted to be big and put on muscle since I was little. I never played sports or was really active growing up because of my asthma. I started lifting in high school, but got really serious and consistent about it freshman year in college while taking a strength training class. I got hooked by all the progress that I was making and never looked back ever since.

The importance of physical fitness and its benefits has become my personal mantra. It helps me manage my asthma by staying in shape and living a healthy lifestyle. The pump during and after a great workout is very euphoric and addicting to me. I love getting a good pump and watching my body get bigger with noticeable results. I also love the confidence and compliments that I get.
