I was a runner and soccer player who had some genetic problems with my back. I decided I needed to make it stronger and began lifting. I use mostly dumbells. Still run 3x a week for 15-25miles. Play soccer a least one or two times a week. I whole body lift 3x a week. My first attempt at the deadlift was on 7-8-13 and I was easily able to lift my own body weight.

It makes me stronger...makes me feel better. I am healthy for my kids and i love it!
