Deal's determination and will led to a slow and painful process of developing the muscles on the right side of his body.
Standing at 6 feet tall weighing only 150 pounds, moving around was a difficult task for him.
After extensive training with one of his friends, Deal slowly began to develop his right side.
Just two years later, he took second place in the Junior Nationals with a total of 800 lbs in the 198 lb weight class.
He cut out the floor of his basement, dug down about two feet and built himself a power rack.
