I really got into fitness and bodybuilding when I was 14, I grew up in a typical Italian household, so my diet was mainly carbs...white...horrific carbs! Anyways to keep things short and sweet, I was on holiday and my uncle had taken a photo of me and my grandfather (before this photo was taken, I thought I looked fan-f*cking-tastic) and well....I looked like a massive mozzarella.....this coincidently is my first "before" photo. After the holiday...and many many tears...someone had put a status on facebook saying "Imagine what you could look like at your full potential" and I swear that saying has stuck with me throughout the years. Now after many blood, sweat and tears...I am finally at the stage where I want to get shredded!!!!

I love improving my body, I love the idea that in reality, your body is the only thing that you will ever own, so I intend to make it absolutely beautiful! The feeling that lifting weights gives me is euphoric, its like this is what I'm supposed to do, the industry I'm supposed to be in and it gives my life so much purpose.
