I started to do weight training when I was about 22 years old. I only started to gym to keep myself in good shape and to tone my body. I never thought of myself as a bodybuilder or competing in shows.
I started to gym with friends that were into bodybuilding and they taught me the basic principles of bodybuilding. They taught me how to feel the muscle work and not just to move the weight. They also taught me the fundamental rep schemes and workout variations such as training splits. Not only did they learn me about training, but they also learned me about past mistakes that they made. They taught me how to avoid injury in the gym, proper nutrition and about the tremendous sacrifices one has to accept to make it to the top in this sport.
I started doing competitions when my friends really started to encourage me to do so. They could see the tremendous changes and the effects of the weight training and how positive my body responded to it.
Why I Love It:
I believe that bodybuilding taught me discipline. Bodybuilding is a lifestyle on its own and if you want to become a successful bodybuilder you must stick to this lifestyle. Bodybuilding does not rule my life, but a will always eat healthy and look after myself. I don’t drink or smoke. It is always important to remember that what you put into life, you will get out of it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I believe in hard work. No pain, no gain. I truly believe in the saying that bodybuilding is a lifestyle. Stay focused on the task at hand. You can only fail yourself if you don’t stick it out.

My short term goal is to compete this year and to do really well. I really worked hard during the off season to better my weaknesses. I am keen to show the judges the big improvements that I have made.
Goal (Long):
My long term goal is to win the Overall South African title. This is the one title that has evaded me and I would like to claim it for myself. I would also like to increase my overall size and to fill out my back and lats more over the next year. I would also like to do some overseas shows. My biggest dream is to become a pro, but this will stay a long term goal until I get a lucky break somewhere.
