Bodybuilding has changed my life. It’s taught me that nothing comes easy. I show up when I’m tired, when I’m hopeless, when I’m happy, or even angry. It’s about pushing through no matter how I feel. The physical gains are real, but the mental strength I’ve built is what truly matters.

Today I’m grateful to be able to get up and hit the gym at 5am as usual. Gosh we take the simple daily routine for granted.
