My uncle got me a weight bench and a 100 lbs set when I was maybe 10 years old. So have lifted off and on for many years. But never as intense as I have in 2013. I know I have a long way to go and much much more to learn.

When I go to the gym it seems to clean my mind of everyday junk. I know why I am there and what I Am going to do. I love the feeling of pushing/pulling weight and being in the zone. When I am done I know what I have accomplished and what I need to work on. I feel alive and ready for whatever is next.
