Weightlifting was a big part of our sport. I started at about age 7 with compound exercises and have been lifting ever since. Seriously, since I was 12. It helped me win multiple Canadian National Sprint Kayaking Championships throughout the years :)

It helps me in sports and in all aspects of my live. It makes you better in every aspect of your life. It helps you focus, gives you drive, gives you the will to continue on were others would quit. The best part is looking at a non-natural guy and yourself and knowing that you look almost the same, and that you did it with hard work and not illegal-drugs.
