My training began at a young age to prepare myself for high school football in my home town in Kentucky. Here football is the major sport, and weight training began right after the first of the year to prepare for the upcoming season. During this period I learned many exercises and techniques that can be used to not only increase strength and muscle mass, but also to increase athletic ability in many areas.
Although my knowledge on how to correctly train and the correct way to construct a diet was very minimal compared to today, I was still able to be a captain on the team and be recruited out of high school to play football in college. I turned down my football offers, and decided to pursue my academics while continuing to stay in shape.
After my senior year in football, I weighed 250 pounds from improper eating and in 7 months I was able to lose 82 pounds through diet, weight training, and cardiovascular training. The knowledge gained from Muscle and Strength allowed me to lose mainly fat during this period, and I now currently weigh 185 pounds where I was able to put on muscle and keep fat off.
I am currently a junior at Northern Kentucky University where I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry. I have a 3.96 GPA, and I plan to continue my education by attending graduate school. I hope that one day with my education and the love I have for staying in shape and weight training that it could possibly lead me into sports medicine or dietary supplementation research. If there is anymore information you would like to know about me, please feel free to ask.
