I have always been in and out of the gym, on and off, and I finally have gotten to a point where I decided I want to be active and healthy for my whole life. I need to MAKE time for the gym, and for this lifestyle. I guess it all really started when I came to college and had access to a gym.

I used to hate going to the gym. A lot of that hate stemmed from fear of "messing up," and insecurity in being smaller than, or weaker than, other guys. I have finally matured and grown up enough to recognize that the guys who are bigger and stronger are determined. I look up to them now.
