I was always heavier when I was younger. Not necessarily fat, but I was thick.."big boned." I've played baseball all my life, but when I tried out for my high school's freshman team, I got cut after two rounds. My biology teacher talked me into joining crew, and being a rower really got me into cutting down body fat and building lean muscle. Ever since then, I've been in love with lifting and being in shape.

I can't stand being out of shape, mainly because I was heavier when I was younger
