I got started exercising when I was in sixth grade because I was overweight. Also I wanted a big muscular body to match my giant head:). I started by doing push ups on my knees and eventually progressed to regular push ups and curls. I started going to the gym my freshman year in high school. The effects of lifting weights is addicting. I have been working out on and off am trying to find more continuity so that one day I can do the Men's physique competition.

I love the feeling of my muscles being engorged and the feeling of accomplishment after reaching a goal (i.e size, strength). I enjoy the fact that I have fun lifting weights and it's beneficial to my physiological health and overall psyche. It boosts my confidence immensely.
