It was always a dream of mine to compete, and I started this journey because I was challenged to do so.
Why I Love It:
I love being able to sculpt my physique through hard work. Lifting weights is a spiritual experience for me and gets me through to the other side of any situation I am dealing with.
How I Stay Motivated:
My motivation comes from diverse sources. Just as I am a multidimensional person so are the reasons that I workout and compete. Additionally, I am a person with intense drive to always push for a better physique. It is that drive inside of me that keeps my spirit alive and pushes me everyday. This lifestyle has given me much purpose and direction. Bodybuilding is an integral part of my continual path toward self betterment.

I have a lot of respect for Ian both personally and professionally. Ian inspires me to be the best I can be and helps give me the courage to grow on many levels. He has been an incredibly important person in my life.
How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
1-3 minutes. It depends on how many repetitions I complete. 12-15 reps or higher I take about a minute rest. 6-8 reps I rest for about 2 minutes.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
6-8..usually, but I do switch up that rep range to keep my muscles guessing.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
I just recently recovered from tendonidus(spelling??) of the long head of the bicep. I could not work chest or shoulders for a month. I did rehab work building the stabilizing muscles of the shoulder joint, and took a ton of supplements to aid joint health and repair.I just recently recovered from tendonidus(spelling??) of the long head of the bicep.

Ava, heard the podcast with you and John. Very nice of you but you give me too much credit. I have no doubt you would have done great regardless. We are really proud of you.
Oh ya, my friends wanted me to remind you that since I have this grown up crush on you, that I need to notify you that if you ever find yourself single and in want of a b/f, email me at englehartjosh@gmail.com :-) It had to be said
