I began to lift weights in 2004, when I decided I was tired of being weaker and smaller than all my friends. I started reading all the magazines and websites I could find. I made a lot of progress during those first few years and I had friends start asking me to train them. I loved helping them get stronger and feel better.

I began to lift weights in 2004, when I decided I was tired of being weaker and smaller than all my friends. I started reading all the magazines and websites I could find. I made a lot of progress during those first few years and I had friends start asking me to train them. I loved helping them get stronger and feel better.
