Background

I grew up in a small town called Brentwood and was knocked over by a car at the age of twelve. I then became unable to do active things for several months and put on weight. When realising I had gotten overweight I felt I needed to do something. I got into a lot of sports and still no progress, so then I joined a gym at 14 and started making a little progress. I decided to try out some supplements which helped tremendously and my results were increasing. I then realised that I was becoming quite muscular and decided to take it that little bit further and that's how I got into bodybuilding.Name: Michael Pope
