I took my weight training to a new level.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was more of a weightlifter.
I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight.
I change the workout every month, so you never adapt and never plateau.
I sat down with my trainers to check my past seasons and to see what could be done to keep me motivated and in good shape. I had to find a new motivation, a new momentum.
My weight has been one of the most challenging things that I've had to deal with throughout my career.
After the second and final time that I got hugely fat in my life and when I lost that weight six or seven years ago, I pretty much decided that I was going to stay in decent shape for the rest of my life.
As soon as I made it about being healthy and shifted my focus away from the scale, the weight started to come off. I keep track of my body by how my jeans fit - and how I feel.
Putting on weight is easy all the way through. But after the first couple of weeks, the novelty wears off very quickly, and your body is groaning and starting to really shout at you, saying, 'Why? Why? Why? Why are you doing this?'
Going from 300 pounds to 150 pounds was the biggest change of my whole life.
I'm not really into weight training.
