In february of 2014 I noticed the faint outline of my top two abs, that really set me off. I had no clue what I was doing and my home gym consisted of a single dumbell. It has since grown as have I becoming 20 pounds heavier and 8% bodyfat in my first year.

Getting a pump, feeling confident and taking your shirt off with pride are among some of the best feelings. And stepping on the scale to see that your weight has gone up is indescribable.
