1. Has there been a time in your life when you have ever considered giving up? And what motivates you to keep going?

But it’s all about making a decision in life but since I started weight lifting, to me is now one of the most enjoyable things in my life, I am always motivated to do it because of the transformation I have gone through doing these. Fun, enjoyment and progress that I see by living in the fitness industry are exactly what will forever keep me moving forward with these.
