What and when was your initial trigger to lifting weights/training - meaning when you first started lifting weights and why?
Football was my trigger and it was when I entered middle school at 12/13 yrs old. After lifting weights most of the summer of 1989/1990 with my uncle my parents knew I would go further in the sport with better conditioning and strength.
The fall of 1990 they purchased me a used adjustable bench, squat rack, 2 barbells, 3 sets of dumbbells and an EZ curl bar.
Fast forward: Played semi-pro football for 16 years from 21-36. Competed 8 times in BB shows during that same time.
Making a comeback for the big 40 later this year perhaps a show or two. Would love to give it another go at football, but time will tell.
