I first got into bodybuilding when I was about 14 years old. I loved it from the very first moment I entered my high school's weight lifting room and left with my body aching like never before. I embrace the pain and the gains that comes with it.

For as long as I can remember, its been one of my greatest passions to endure tough, rigorous challenges and gain great strength as a result of it. However you look at it, we owe our very existence to our warrior ancestors for the great strength it took them to survive the most treacherous conditions through hard work. Many of us today are no different than those warriors of the past. We've built cities by hauling steel beams onto our shoulders. We've given our blood, sweat and tears into defending our families and nations in which we proudly raised. We've climbed up the food chain as a predatory force to be reckoned with. None of it would've been made possible without great strength, but with it, anything is possible.

So however you look at it, right down to the very core, the laws of nature remains the same, "survival of the fittest". We thrived this far because of it. I want to be able to survive it all, endure it all, and thrive. Therefore this is why I love lifting/ working out, why I made it my life's goal to be among the fittest; a warrior of great strength (both physically and mentally); a force to be reckon with. Its a euphoric sensation for me to forge such a legacy. It would be like reaching Valhalla. There is no greater glory.
