Ox: Alright Brad, from the beginning, what sports did you play growing up?
Brad: I played baseball from first grade to sixth grade. I started playing football in eighth grade. I ran track and won the city championships for 110 hurdles in the 8th grade.
Ox: About how big were you back then?
Brad: About 110lbs.
Ox: Did you play any sports in high school?
Brad: Yea, I played football in ninth grade and twelfth grade and ran the 4x100 and 4x200 in twelfth grade.
12th grade - 165lbs
Ox: When did you get serious about lifting?
Brad: Tenth grade. I started competing with my smaller friends and then every year I'd set the goals a little higher and started competing with my bigger friends. Every year I was beating who I wanted to compete with. Then in 10th grade we had to move and I was living by myself because my parents worked a lot and we had this 24 hour gym so I would go down there and lift at like midnight or one o' clock in the morning. That's how I took out my stress.

Ox: What else are you doing with yourself right now?
Brad: Nothing. Just eating, sleeping and playing video games [laughs].
Ox: What's your favorite game?
Brad: I've been playing a lot of Halo.
500lb wheels
Ox: Any future goals to compete?
Brad: Maybe bodybuilding in five or ten years. Right now I just like throwing around weights. I wouldn't mind bodybuilding but I don't want to diet [laughs]. I don't care what I'm doing as long as I'm making enough money to eat and have a gym membership.
Sounds good!
