i used to train in swimming and my coach got us hitting the gym, even tho i didnt do anything there so i wont be tired for swimming (stupid i know...)
so after i quit swimming at the high levels i got lazy and started to get skinny again as my body was eating at my mucles at a high rate, after 3 years my bicep was the side of my forearm :S
so one day i decided to hit the gym and never stopped ever since :)

the mental stress it takes off a person it just amazing, plus doing everyday stuff is alot easier when you had alot more weight on your back for way longer at the gym.
not gonna lie the girls love it ;)
