When I was in high school, I was skinny, weak, and unathletic. I was usually chosen last in gym class and to be honest, I had pretty low self esteem.

I always wanted to be bigger and stronger, but I didn’t know how to get there. I used to try bodybuilding workouts I read in magazines and sneak into the weight room after school (I once got kicked out of the weight room by the football coach, which led to me working out with the football team for three months- even though I never played a down of football!) and drink chicken and sweet potato shakes to try to gain weight (true story- I don’t recommend it).

Fitness changed my life for the better. As I learned about training and nutrition, I saw my body change. It gave me confidence in myself and taught me the value of patience and hard work.

One of the main goals of this website is to provide training information that will help you on your journey. I want this website to be the source of information I wish I had at 16 years old (it could have helped me avoid drinking chicken shakes!)
