Was extremely impressed as a child by Mike Tyson's phenomenal physique and awesome raw power (check out my video section). His image was a constant source of motivation for me throughout the years.My training philosophy has been highly influenced by the writings of Mike Mentzer.

Its a great and rewarding activity. I love the fact that the results you get out of it are directly proportional to the effort you put into it. Its also part of my identity, of who I am.

Thinking about constantly improving and becoming stronger.I believe that there is nothing in this universe that remains static..you either move forward and improve or you move backwards and deteriorate..the choice is yours.. "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat" - -- Theodore Roosevelt "History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats." - B. C. Forbes Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion" - Muhammad Ali "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardship and decide NOT to surrender, that is strength." ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

I won many amateur lever powerlifting competitions..the most notable being a provincial level powerlifting championship competition. Bench pressed 480 lbs at a bodyweight of 200lbs raw.
