I was sick of being the skinny kid of the group, and wanted to have more confidence. I went down to my basement and started lifting on my dad's old weight bench. I had no idea what I was doing at first but I started to see results and got hooked. After about a year I put on some decent muscle mass and got up the courage to join the gym. From there I got hooked and have been at it ever since.

It makes me feel great about myself, makes others notice your hard work, and you can always set new goals to break.
