Training experience (as much detail as possible.. TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF ! ! WHY should we choose you ! !):
I started lifting about a year and a half ago in the Summer before my senior year in high-school. Started off slow, then took off to 4-5 days a week. Got a few other friends into it, and everything became more consistent as I went with friends. Now I'm in my freshman year in College at a University away from home, loving every second of it. Training for me has been all about discipline, and makes everything else in my life so much easier to handle and focus on. As a kid I was always the chubby one, never had a girlfriend until my sophomore year of high-school, where I finally thinned out from skateboarding every day. I started drinking only water my freshman year of high-school also, which definitely contributed. I was never really crazy about my nutrition until I started lifting, and now I'll never go back. For me it's not one of those trends that I'm following, it's just a better way of living my life. I've got a lot of hobbies, from skateboarding, to parkour(free running), wakeboarding, cars, bikes, new technology(mobile phones, etc), some MMA, and anything new to try.
