Four years back, as a 115-pound, frail, skinny, and totally unfit teenager, I just didn't have the kind of power that attracted respect from others. But when I started my gym journey, I quickly found my way into the world of strength training and muscle building, which has now become a part of my life. I pursue it as a regular, everyday goal, and not so much as an endgame. Of course, the endgame would be some kind of muscular development; however, what I really look for in the gym is the power of overcoming various forms of weight, of pushing through barriers both physically, mentally, and seeing the hard work start to pay off.
