I have always been athletic. I played football throughout high school until my Jr. year. I decided I would work and pay for my own gas. I told my coaches if they got a wrestling team I would do that, but that would be it. My senior year we had a wrestling team. After wrestling I did not want to gain a lot of weight or put on that Freshman what ever they say you are suppose to gain your Freshman year of college. It took me two years to gain back the weight I lost from wrestling. The other side of why I actually kept it going occurred my Freshman year of college. My brother got into a motorcycle accident and became paralyzed from the chest down. Working out was my get away because I was his main watch when he came home for the first year.

I could quote Arnold about a true pump in Pumping Iron, but.... it is a refreshing get away where it is about what you want to do and you are the only person that can make it happen.
