When I Started:
Feb, 2005
How I Started:
B/c I always wanted to see how far I could take my physique and b/c I simply like to challenge myself...
Why I Love It:
It is the healthiest activity to become involved in, provided you do it the "right way." The right way is to do it drug free, train properly, and eat healthy.
How I Stay Motivated:
Exercise is so therapuetic for me... I love how it makes me feel... What motivates me is probably being a living example of what I teach to my clients... But also, an inspiration to others... I just enjoy the feeling I get from the act of lifting weights and the challenge-point where I question if I can squeeze out another rep... I also like taking the intensity of a set further than most are willing to go... It motivates me to be the best I can be for me... And I will always be happy for doing that and being true to myself. I also love training around beautiful women... I love the attention I get from working out... Especially when I got that pump going!!! My chest all blown up, and veins popping out the arms as I walk to the water fountain.. I love that walk... B/c I can feel those eyes melting through my body from the ellipticals and stairclimbers from those sexy girls working out.. They do their thing, I do mine.. A mutual admiration... What better feeling than that!!!?? Also, the chance to prove myself AND to prove the doubters wrong... The credibility and respect from peers in that, I want to prove my philosophies in training and nutrition... And with my own success, that will sell... "Everyone loves a WINNER." So this is why I need to turn pro and be successful... I also want to be the best I can be in bodybuilding.. I want to eventually write a book on how I became a professional bodybuilder and how I got there.. I want to be a representation of pure science and its application building the most proportionate and symmetrical body I can possibly attain.
BB Accomplishments:
Learning how to prep and compete in a healthy manner. No limits or deprivation. And with this being said, having earned my pro card in 2009 doing it my way. The healthy way.
Forum Signature:
"Let the past go, so you can grow" "Changing the face of bodybuilding through natural and healthy functional bodybuilding. Bringing back the beauty and aesthetic more natural look of bodybuilding" "Every time I step on stage, I'm going to make it harder and harder for the judges not to pick me #1" "To be so prepared and conditioned that even on my worst day, I'm still going to win" "Muscle quality looks more impressive than muscle quantity"

This is the day I made that choice to see how far I can take my body... It was already pretty athletic, but not the kind of body that turns heads...
Now this is more like it... But I still am not where I want to be yet....

Which pro bodybuilder/fitness/figure competitor has the ideal physique? Why?
Frank Zane. He embodied more than a body. He had a holistic and complete approach. He put mind-body-spirit into the sport. Plus, he had a super small waist and an awesome v-taper. Definition was never...more

What are your secrets for making healthy food taste great?
Simple... Adding healthy sugar (fruit, agave syrup, dried fruit, or a little brown sugar) and fat (nuts, avocado, coconut, extra virgin olive oil, smart balance light butter, smart balance mayonnaise,...more

Do you sometimes use energy enhancing supplements?
Yes
Which supplements do you take? When do you take them?
Maybe during pre-contest prep, I would take gingko biloba or a B-complex. I like the vascularity and pump I get from them. The niacin in the B-complex is the main B-vitamin that enhances a pump.
