How Did You Get Started?

I got started when my father and mother brought me a bench, plastic cement weights and an Arnold Schwarzenegger novel at the age of thirteen years old. Growing up in New York City you had to be tough. If you had muscles, you had respect, and I had that. From there I've never look back.
