I'm a big anime fan and when I was a kid I started watching Dragonball Z. The guys on that show was ripped with muscles, strong, and not to mention could shoot energy waves haha. I wanted to be like Goku who was my favorite character. When I entered 10th grade in high school, I joined a weight training class and boy was I in for a surprise. Big guys everywhere and talk about being imitimidated. I worked on my legs everyday because I didn't want to get embarrased by how weak I was on the bench. Weeks later we had to max out for a grade and when I did my squat one rep max; people were shocked by the amount of weight I used. Ever since then they helped me with my bench and so forth....
I love the mental challenge of bodybuilding, I'm addicted to it like cigarettes are to smokers. The pain, the struggle, the mental prep talk as you enter the gym, etc. I really started with Insanity, Insanity the Asylum, P90X, and P90X2; which were really the base of my bodybuilding. Afterwards I wanted more, my hunger was no longer quenched my home fitness programs. I needed more weight, more pain & gain, and a new atomsphere. After watching Pumping Iron and seeing my first bodybuilding competition, I know what I want to do in life. I want to compete, it's on my bucket list and I will succeed.
