WELCOME

It wasn't to long ago that I picked up my first dumbbell. It wasn't long ago that my need, my hunger and my passion started racing. Now I find myself in the gym five days a week doing everything I can to feed my addiction. I look forward every time to peeling my sweat covered shirt off my fully pumped chest, for the absolute high of having pumped so much growth into my biceps and triceps that I can't muster the strength to straighten them. And just like all you bodybuilders, marathon runners, cyclists, hikers, athletes etc., the harder you train the bigger, the faster and stronger your addiction grows.
