This is what got me into fitness — and why I never stopped.

I’ve always been the athletic type. I wasn’t the kid sitting in the front row solving math problems — I was the one joining every sport my school had.

Junior varsity? I was on every team.
Soccer? That’s where I performed best.
I was always moving, running, and competing. But for years… I never touched a barbell.

I didn’t step foot in a gym until I was 25.
Before that?
Just two dumbbells at home, max 20kg, doing programs like P90X3 and Focus T25.

What pulled me into the gym was this realization:

“You can actually control how your body looks and performs — not everything, but a lot.”

You can’t change your genetics, sure — but you can control your muscle mass, body fat, and strength through training and nutrition. That concept fascinated me. Still does.

At first, like most guys, I just wanted to look good.
Get lean. Get the abs. Get attention.
But after a while… that wasn’t enough.
Training just for aesthetics felt shallow — and to be honest, boring.

That’s when my goals shifted.
From looking fit to moving like an athlete.
From training for vanity to training for performance, strength, and longevity.

Now, I train to be powerful, capable, and pain-free.
I want to feel strong at 40, 50, 60.
And I love knowing that at my age, my athleticism is on par with college-level athletes.

Do I still care about aesthetics? Sure.
But now, looking good is just the side effect —
Strength is the goal.

Because in my eyes, strength solves everything.
And there’s nothing cooler than being super strong.
(Still feels like a young boy’s dream, honestly.)

The way I train isn’t complicated.
I just focus on getting stronger — consistently.
Progress feels amazing.
Plateaus frustrate me.
But I know I’m nowhere near my limit… and that keeps me going.

🙋‍♂️ I now coach others to do the same:
Build a body that’s strong, capable, and built to last.
If you’re tired of chasing aesthetics with no structure or purpose —
I’ve been there.

Let’s build strength that sticks.
DM me “STRONG” — I’ll show you where to start.
