Why I Got Started

In September of 2008, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer that spread into my lymph nodes and both of my lungs. I went through several cycles of chemotherapy, and on March 14, 2009, I was declared cancer free.

While I was undergoing chemotherapy, I completely let myself go. I sat around all day, eating whatever I wanted, and drinking sodas all day. I looked in the mirror and saw exactly what I never wanted to see, a pasty skinny fat kid.

I decided at that moment I was going to spend the rest of my life getting into the best possible shape I could.

Getting Into The Best Possible Shape That I Could.

How I Did It

I got online and started reading about different routines and supplements on Bodybuilding.com. I got a membership to a local gym, and that's when it all began. The first few months I spent all my time learning about dieting.

It started to completely take over my life, and I became obsessed with the changes I saw in the mirror. To this day my transformation is still far from being complete, and I will continue to bust my butt in the gym and become the best I can be.
