12 CRUCIAL LIFE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED FROM BODYBUILDING
BY JUAN ROJAS
Bodybuilding is one of the most beautiful journeys I have chosen to embark on in my life .
For the last 14 years , I have chosen to live this monk-like lifestyle of discipline and focus .

I started this journey at 17 years old not having any idea it would teach me the most important life lessons imaginable that I would not learn elsewhere .

I quickly downloaded this movie using torrents ( REMEMBER THESE AS WELL !?) and I was hooked . From this moment I knew that this is exactly what I wanted to do with my life . But how could I do this without the knowledge , a car to go to the gym in or enough money to pay for a gym
