I started martial arts at age of 8 until I was 17 when I got the iron bug. I competed twice as a junior at 19. I stopped lifting at 23 got into boxing and age of 24 I moved to Canada from Europe. I wasn't training with weights until I was 36 . Now I'm dedicated and won't stop. I started with 110 lbs of bw at 17 now I'm around 200-210 lbs and 38 years old.
