Background

When I Started: May 1990
HOW I STARTED:

After being a recovering anorexic I started to weight train as soon as I read my first copy of Muscle & Fitness and I saw pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Labrada, and Lee Haney.

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love the discipline involved and the fact that you get what you put into it. Bodybuilding can teach you a lot about life. If you apply what you learn through bodybuilding (goal setting/planning, visualization, determination, and hard work) onto every other aspect of your life success then is inevitable.

My Motivation Program

I just never want to be overweight like I once was when I was little so it is easy for me to stay motivated.

Besides, it has taken me years to build my physique to this level so I don’t want to ruin it. I also feel that since I am a role model to many, and I am constantly offering advice on what needs to be done in order to get in shape, I’d feel very hypocritical if I am prescribing something that I do not even follow myself.

I find him inspirational because, it's hard been spanish and having a great shape, because of all the high carb and fatty spanish foods that we have, I see that he is very dicipline and that's something I admired.
