I've been a distance runner from high school till my early 20's. I've always been into lifting weights, but I didn't start to see progress until I decided to start up again last year. I never understood the importance of two things, REST and DIET.

I love the feeling of lifting weight that I've never lifted before, and then coming back and doing that same weight for 10 reps. The progression, results, and overall changes are what keep me coming back for more. I will always lift now that I have found discipline and patience. My goal are ridiculous, but why shouldn't they be? I want a 1000lb deadlift, a 1000lbs squat, and an 800lb bench press. Most importantly, I'm enjoying the journey.
