When I Started:
Sep, 2005
How I Started:
Kelowna was a very dull place, particularly rez.
Why I Love It:
The muscles you pack on are a constant reminder that your hard work is paying off. I'm a pretty narcissistic person so bodybuilding is perfect.
How I Stay Motivated:
I try not to rip myself to pieces in the gym by periodically reminding myself that I'm only going to be bodybuilding for the rest of my life. When I'm not completely aching the next day I'm usually more motivated to hit the gym.
BB Accomplishments:
1 month straight of weightlifting, averaging 1.5 hours a day (no rest day). I was incredibly toned.
What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
My diet consists of only natural unprocessed foods, therefore I don't really have a "set" menu. I eat a well balanced meal of carbs+protein+fat every 3-4.5 hours, with regular water intake 30 minutes before and 1.5-2 hours after meals and every hour after. I don't drink water during meals (but I'm currently experimenting with this).
I don't have pre-workout meals. I workout about 2-2.5 hours after eating. Post-workout meals consists of half a scoop of whey isolate (14g), roughly a scoop of maltodextrin (35-45g) depending on how hard I worked-out, 2-4g of glutamine and 2-4g of creatine monohydrate.
Meal one
- Whey protein isolate (14g or about half a scoop) + 2 to 4g of glutamine
- 3 to 4 types of sweet fruits
- sometimes I throw in a bowl of oatmeal or a sweet potato
Meal two
- Brown rice/Sweet potato/Oatmeal (I aim for a large bowl)
- Shredded chicken breast/Round or sirloin with as much fat removed as possible/sole/salmon/tuna (I aim for 35g of protein)
- 4 to 5 different kinds of steamed vegetables (large bowl)
- teaspoon of cod liver oil

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
I find that my motivation dips as the day goes by, so I always try to finish my workouts in the morning (or before work/school). I remind myself that if I go later in the afternoon, it'll be crowded and my workouts won't be as effective since I may have to wait for people.

What is the best type of protein for you?
Whey Isolate
Why is this type of protein best?
- excellent for post-workout
- excellent for (part of) 1st meal of the day
I currently utilize a 4-on, 1-off approach. Each workout does not exceed 1 hour (95% of the time). The sets vary, but I always try to do a little more or do things a little faster.
