      Why lifting?

      Running, TRX classes, swimming, all great ways to get in shape and strengthen our bodies. So with all the great options available why did you decide on doing this?

      I used to run 5 miles a day 2x a day. Can’t now. Joints can’t handle running. I used to push myself harder on the street than the gym. I was never fast, but I used it to burn aggression. Now it’s the iron. If I don’t train I get real cranky LOL.

      Weight training is masculine and represents strength and size. That is why. Pure strength is always been something I was interested in since I was in 1st grade

      The first time I saw Markus Ruhl in person I was like 18 or 19 years old... the only thing that stuck in my mind other than him being super wide is that he was completely purple. His skin all over his body was deep blueish purple.
