I started lifting weights when I was a Sophomore in highschool. I was 15. It was something that my best friend and I did daily after school. I have been the same height since 7th grade (age 13), AND the same weight. I needed to add some quality pounds.

I love it because it is a total lifestyle. The choices you make daily all affect your body and mind 100%. I want mine to be in top condition at all times. Like Arnold described it, we are sculptors, only our body is our canvas.
