I started reading Flex magazine, and lifting when I was about 14 yrs old. At that time, I wanted to be the next Dorian Yates, and look like the guys in the magazine. My goals are different now, but that's what got me started.

There is something awesome that happens when you take your body to the max. I love the feeling of satisfaction I get knowing I just finished a killer workout! I also love the stress relief that comes during and after a workout.
