I dedicate my life to my country and bodybuilding! I turn to bodybuilding.com for answers as well as to help people out the best I can! After being deployed to Afghanistan, and Iraq three times over the past 7 years, I have realized how important it is to keep your foundation and gather up the knowledge gained to help build yourself the best possible body and help others build theirs!
