I have always been a healthy person, even as a kid growing up. I got tired of being the skinny kid though. I was teased a lot for being so skinny and small, so I picked up some mags when I was younger and started throwin up that iron! Ever since then I've been addicted, but got real serious October 2006. I wanted to be the best I could be. I am a 100% natural, and plan on staying natural for the rest of my life. One life, drug free.
Why I Love It:
After every rep and set you feel like a million bucks. You feel like you accomplished something once you step out of that gym after a grueling 2 hour workout. I have made this a part of my life, and look forward to helping others achieve their health and fitness goals.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated through seeing progression, results through my hard work, my beautiful supportive wife, and compliments. All Natural, Drug Free, StraightEdge.

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
I am currently on a high protein, moderate carb, low fat diet. I keep my sugar intake extremely low and never eat fast food, fried food, sweets, don't drink any alcohol, and don't drink any juices. I currently take in about 2700 cals a day through clean foods such as boneless skinless chicken breast, oats, lots and lots of eggs, lean beef, sweet potatoes, whole grain rice, organic black beans, fruits, veggies, and a whole lotta protein shakes! I keep my diet clean 7 days a week, never giving into temptation..yes it's hard at times...but you gotta say to yourself.."Is is worth it?"..I am currently on a high protein, moderate carb, low fat diet.

I just want to take the time to thank each and everyone one of you who have supported me over the years. All of you are truly the ones who keep me going. I was looking over some of the comments today left in the "Inspired" tab and realized that I am so lucky to have all the support...

Hey, you have incredible definition in your abdominal region, I was just wondering if you do weighted abdominal exercises to achieve that kind of definition?
lol i figured u would know about "The Situation" lol if i had abs like u i would just take that kids nick name over and if someone is was like you wanna know why they call me the situation and then u know lol
Hey you have great abs and i was woundering if you could give me any tipe/advice or even some abdominal workout's for me all help would be appreciated thanks.
Hi Nick bro thanks and your welcome my friend. Ill be working extra hard this year too my friend . God bless and takecare. Have an awesome weekend too Laterz Nick
Busy is good :) I can relate! I'm finishing school this Spring finally. I am gonna take the NSCA CPT in a week or 2, so I'm excited about that. Things are really good currently. I'm cutting for the next 3 months or so to get down to like 8%. Then I think I've finally figured out how to gain while staying lean, so I'm hoping for the best! How's your gaining comin along?
thank you :) good coming from you. keep up the hard work man ill be watching for your progress this year! hey actually, quick question.. what are your top 2-3 ab workouts? or routines? i obviously know that clean eating is probably the majority of your leanness but youve got incredible depth in your abs and was wondering what you do to achieve that
training's goibg well. i live in great white north, God's country, so running has been limited to once a week. got a heavy bag and gloves to mix up the routines. don't know if it's helping my definition as it is an anger mgmnt tool. LOL. keep inspiring brother. you hold a high ass bar for the rest of us!
any diet or supp tips man? ur abs are crazy, even at my best i have a hard time gettin below bout 6 percent bodyfat, if u get time get back to me man, i appreciate it
