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...
Since the time when I first photographed you for the Iron Man Magazine BodySpace Physique of the Month through now you have made some of the most amazing gains I have seen. Good going!
great avi man id be scared if i bumped into you id bounce right off that barrel chest haha hows the training going your abs are sick any tips to take mine to the next level like you keep doing
Seriously, being a true inspiration to me, reading one of your posts about giving up alcohol to help achieve your golas I decided to do the same (very hard) 8 days sober. Thank you for being an inspiration. Now on to figuring out nutrition, thank you.
I've been ok - just taking a break from my hours of training, doing gymnastics for about 4 hrs a day..need time off! Try this for a change, real light weight, high reps like 30 - 50, short rest like 15 - 30 secs and lots of sets from 10 - 20. Real high volume but pumps you up sooo much, I gained a lot of mass that way. not for the faint of heart and you need to eat eat eat!!!
