Background
With age comes more character and definition. I want this to show in my physique as well. I want to do this for me because I believe a lot of health ailments are preventable with the right actions early on.
Everyone is in control of their body and what you do with it says a lot about your character. You exude confidence.

My Workout Program
Right Now I'm doing Jim Stoppani's workout program! I love have 4 training days because then I can take two days to focus on my weak areas and not have a structured plan. Doing this keeps it exciting and never leaves me in a rut.

- Incline DB flyes
- Cable Crossovers
- close grip bench press
- DB overhead tricep ext.

I focus on my legs mostly because I've had surgeries and they are my weakest points.
- Glute machine 4 sets of 20 reps
- Back hyperextensions
- Deadlifts

- ABS - So I take the "BOSU" stability 1/2 ball and place it with flat side down. position myself like a tetertoter and with straight arm and legs- raise opposing arm to opposing leg while focusing on the twist and crunch. Breathing out while crunching up helps squeeze your abs and hold it longer.

"The things I put in my mouth are more important than the things that come out
On Sunday's I make all my food and tupperwear them. "The things I put in my mouth are more important than the things that come out" - a lot of people say they eat healthy but every person's definition of healthy is different.

- Jerky
- Almonds
- MCT oil

My Supplement Program View My Full Supplement Program
I've tried A LOT. I take a little
I'm not stuck to one brand. I think each brand has their "strengths" and weaknesses with supplements. I don't find many brands that have mastered each level of quality in every product.
These are my staples that I cycle:
Fish Oil - 2-4 capsules a day
Multi-Vitamin - Orange Triad, I like but I still get that nauseous feel from certain vitamins.
Vitargo - I take pre & post workouts. Usually I can't eat at least 1 hour before a workout but this carb can be taken 30 min before my workouts and it's awesome. I love the carb pump.
Digestive enzymes - I have an extremely sensitive stomach, even too much whey makes me upset.
Pre-workouts - I use Craze 2x a week, vitargo on leg days, and C4 from Cellucore.
My favorite protein: Graham Cracker
Extras - Triazole, Activate, Lean Xtreme

My Motivation Program
Advitam is inspired by SuPErBe.
Reason: There is a league of extrordinary women in each walk of life; and so many people who can be inspiring because they proved something; however, Brooke inspires me because she doesn't concern herself with trying to be "somebody". There is a quality and admiration with her demeanour that becomes infectious and hard not to befriend. In the gym it's clear she's a fighter and owns her actions, her story is incredible and a true example of a woman that has given her life to something beyond herself.

Posted in Other : Apr 12, 2012 7:29amIt is in the darkness that I find my light.
The same way lightning finds its path.
As one of the most undeniable sources of power, lightnings potential can only be used when all is lost. When darkness is stirring and you find yourself no longer looking outward, but inward. When your eyes can no longer tell your brain where to go you have to close your eyes and listen to your heart, feel your pulse, taste the air you speak and ask yourself some hard questions. Do you possess the power to harness everything inside. It is easy to get lost in your own thoughts and all
...Let Go
Posted in Other : Mar 29, 2012 7:17am-Let go of insecurities that I will never be “good enough".
-Let go of a physical image that controlled my "status"
-Let go of trying to take on huge roles that demanded more time than I have.
You see, I have a bittersweet taste for the bodybuilding industry. There are times I am sitting with my jaw dropped after seeing a line-up

Posted in Other : Nov 08, 2011 7:41amAs shaky as one may feel going down a path, don’t doubt your capacity to succeed; you’ve equipped yourself with all the tools just by taking the first step. Everything else will fall into place, no matter the inadequacies.
Competing was more of a spiritual development, than a physical. I’m stubborn as a goat and I will do what it takes to reach my goals. On the other hand, I don’t always have the right direction, which can lead me precariously through bunny trails. Either way, I am slowly but surely finding myself through my body. I’ve always thought I was extremely carb sensi
