- “It felt so good to lift weights...when I was working out was the only time the pain and anguish in my head would subside. I started to see changes in my body like I never had before.”
- “I loved bodybuilding because you’re literally in control of your results. Your results were a direct reflection of the work you were willing to put in...the more I learned and the more mindfully I trained, the better my results got. In some ways, I finally felt that I had found my identity again through fitness.”
