I started lifting in 8th grade for football. In high school I started powerlifting. I've been lifting off and on since then but never taking it seriously. This year I tore my acl in my knee training in MMA and had surgery in June. I am starting to lift again to help prepare for MMA again.

I love the feeling I get from a hard training session. I love seeing the strength gains and the physical transformation. Also a great way to deal with stress.
