i tried out for the football team when i was in highschool and failed, so i decided i wanted to make it next year and i started working out. i also got picked on alot and wasnt very confident. all those reasons combined pushed me to work harder to reach my goals.

i love it because it is the only thing to do where i live, and i feel great about myself now. i can walk into my gym and people know me and respect me and its a great feeling. i will always love bodybuilding, its one of the only sports where you do it just for yourself and i think thats great, you have to be really self motivated and have a high degree of discipline to go every day and push yourself to the limit everytime and its a wonderful thing.
