Well I started Junior year of high school and my body grew very quickly much to my surprise. I was a lean muscular 150lb 5'5" guy. As I graduated and went to college i spent less and less time in the gym. Back into it full time now though. Using deployment as an excuse to get ripped again :)

When I'm in the gym listening to my music I just feel the most peaceful I ever have. Like nothing else really matters when I'm lifting and its a great feeling. And seeing the results in the mirror doesn't hurt motivation at all either i suppose lol. Always been my own worst critic and thats what my biggest drive is.
