My background, as an avid athlete in high school and son of a highly accomplished athlete, was to initially take on weight training as a means to improve in team sports. My dad had always insisted on me doing well in anything I pursued from a physical standpoint, so I immersed myself in years of oldIronman and Muscular Development magazines (dating back to the 1960s and yes I still have all of em) to acquire all of the knowledge I possibly could. The next natural step was to see how well what I’d read could be applied to the pursuit of muscle. Even before competing, I was hooked! My body did what I wanted it to do. In 1993, I competed in my 1st bodybuilding show and took 3rd. The bonds I formed with like-minded individuals from that time in my life is what I love most about the weight training community. I’d done well competitively over the years, as bodybuilding had always taken a backseat to family, it was something I pursued sparingly….until 2003 when we opened our doors at The Fit Factory!
