Early Influences and Texas Football

August 22, 2022

But I mean, for me, it all started, I was, I think it was like, man, it was like the mid eighties and Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Conan the Barbarian. And I saw that movie and I went, that's a man. That's, I, that's the, I want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Conan and I want a sword and I want to ride around and I want to slay villages. And it was that type of thing, like little kid stuff. But yeah, I kind of got into bodybuilding at that age before the internet when we only had bodybuilding magazines and like books from the 1970s at the library, that type of stuff. So, but I started lifting at that point and was really doing it for that And also Texas football because that where I from So like every male who born is required to play football in Texas Even if you don play you almost required to be on the team, right? Especially in a small town like I'm from. So my town was less than 7,000 people. So if you've ever watched like Friday Night Lights, or if you've seen the movie Varsity Blues, which not a lot of people have seen anymore, I actually did stunts in that movie. So a lot of the big football stunts. I did that. Yeah. But that's how it was. Like the whole town like shut down and everybody's at the football game. So we were lifting for that reason, purely just for sports and things like that.
