I have always been a keen sports player and spent many of my teen years playing football (soccer) at a semi-pro level. A knee injury ended my playing days and I decided to switch to body-building once my knee was recovered. I started because I wanted to strengthen up my frame as injury was quite common with myself. Before I knew it I had put 14lbs of muscle in the first year and was still around 7-8% body-fat. That was it, I was hooked and I have never looked back.

Working out allows me to constantly strive to better myself and prove myself wrong by setting goals very difficult to achieve. It don't matter if it takes you 1,2,5 years to achieve that goal you just stick to it and the rewards are always worth it. setting short term goals are also very important as this keeps you on a natural high all year round.
