How Did You Get Started?

Ever since I was a little kid, my dad was always telling me "Do push-ups every night and in a couple of years, you'll be big." So I did do push-ups for a while, but then I gave up. After that, my dad started taking me to the gym with him to watch him workout. My dad taking me to the gym and seeing the guys in the magazines when I was little made me want to start working out. When I was older, my mom bought me a membership to Bally's for Christmas, little did I know that was one of the best presents I have ever received. My best friend Brandon received a bodybuilding book for Christmas one year, and that got the both of us into lifting a lot. He kept me going a lot, he would always push me to the max.
