I simply got tired of being fat. I'm natuarally a big guy and I'm fine with that, but some people would assume that I would be stronger and that encouraged me to start.

I often train with my body armor on. A lady once came up to me, and all my sweaty, out-of-breath glory, and said "I'm sure glad you're on our side." Made my day and pumped me up better than any pre-workout could!
