Why I Got Started?
I got started because I always wanted to be different than anybody else. When I was kid I used to be a small guy - inside I felt that I needed to grow and get stronger. My dreams were taking shape until I saw Pumping Iron - from that point on I was really focused on what I wanted and how could I accomplish my goals.
How I Did It?
I am sure that mind is above all the number one factor that a person with physical goals meet first. I learned that a big change is made with big sacrifices and that the recompense will always be worth it. I have had many training partners that shared similar goals like me but for one reason or another they gave it up.
The point I am trying to make here is that I did it with determination; I learned to accept privations and never collapse. Nutrition is a very hard thing to keep strict, especially if you have a loving mother that is always looking to show her love by cooking you a huge monster taco.

Christian Aranda: Before & After.
It is always hard to say no but I realized that if I fall for it, all the effort in the gym, all the time spent would go directly to the trash can.
My goal was to get strong as well as look big and well proportioned. I did it training extra hard: everyday before going to the gym I would get mentally prepared (this to me is very important) to arrive at the gym well motivated and ready to work hard. When I go to the gym I try to forget anything from the outside world (distractions). It is hard to train right if you are letting outside pressures mess with your focusing.
