I started lifting my freshman year of high school. I took an advanced PE/weight lifting class. I was pretty much the only non-football player, but was allowed in due to BMX racing. I saw strength gains very fast and was fairly strong for my size.

College came and lifting slowed down. My BMX speed transferred to track (running. I competed a small DII in track for 2 years which really slowed down my muscle gains.

College was rough on the physique I worked hard for. I am trying to get that back!

Seeing improvement is an awesome feeling. I love getting stronger, looking better, and feeling better. All this helps with BMX racing!
