I can't remember the exact date, but I remember that I started while I was still living with my parents. I was frustrated with life and had a rough break up with my girlfriend. I needed to add some discipline and direction to my life. It began by cranking some Pantera and doing bicep curls. From there I learned more exercises and continued lifting. I've been lifting off and on over the years and I still feel like I'm learning something new everyday. I've still got a long journey ahead to reach my goal physique but I'll get there eventually.

It provides an oulet for the stress of everyday life and gives me a sense of accomplishment.
