Background

When I Started: Apr 2003
HOW I STARTED:

I began training during high school for football and then began dabbling in bodybuilding during college. After college I became hooked and set my sights on my first show. The rest is history.

WHY I LOVE IT:

Being challenged with weights presents a unique experience to always improve. Pushing yourself and others forward is exhilarating.

My Workout Program

Offseason training has begun in full swing with some heavier lifting. Legs, Push and Pull is the current split focusing on big, compound movements and taking a little more rest to push bigger weights. Squats, rack deads, straight-leg deads, heavy lunges, bar rows, incline bench and db presses to name a few basic, outstanding movements.

Long Time No Blog

Who needs a blog on bb.com when you have a full journal in the contest prep section? Well, I might as well post an update here as well. I am seven weeks out from my WNBF debut at the Mid-America Pro competition. To add to the excitement, my training partner James McGuire is also competing to win his pro card after coming so close last year. God has blessed my prep maximizing my short six month offseason to be more productive than ever and I'm on track to come in SUPER shredded. James is also much thicker. Amen! Keep an eye out for the Mid-America Pro-Am at www.midamericaproam.com. We are also...

Crunch time in 2008!!

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:11pm
Exciting events are on the horizon for me and a few top clients including three pro qualifiers and three trips to New York. My training partner, James McGuire, has begun preparation for the INBF Hercules show in NYC to do battle for a WNBF natural pro card. He is ahead of schedule as planned at 9 weeks out with hamstrings showing already and looking bigger than before! His last contest was the NPC Monster Mash in October where he won the middleweight class. Next up is Sue Knott who will be competing in her first IFBB figure pro-qualifying events at the IFBB North Americans and NPC Team Univers...

The Arnold is Approaching!!

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:11pm
The Arnold is nearly 6 weeks away! This marks the soon passing of winter with only a few more flurries left to blow through Ohio afterwards (hopefully). Oh, but it also kicks off competition season!! The ASC will be ultra-competitive on the amateur and pro side. This year I will be working the Max Muscle Sports Nutrition booth at the expo, so those going will certainly have to stop by and visit. World Gym Freak, aka James McGuire, aka the next WNBF pro will also be there with the Max Muscle crew.  We are training with tenacity for the INBF Hercules in June (James) and INBF Naturalmania in...
