How Did You Get Started?
I started training in college at 18 years old. I took a bodybuilding course 1 (beginner) and it was great to understand all the bodybuilding concepts and all the different training types. (Tempo, reps, etc) Over the next year I took bodybuilding course 2 (advance). Since then I have never stop training. I obtained a membership at a gym close to my home called "DJ Gym" and the results were fast and amazing as I was tall and a little skinny when I started!

What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
It is difficult for me to gain weight and I get lean easily. Therefore I train with medium and heavy weights. I train three days a week with four exercises for each body part and between eight to twelve reps. I do all the basics exercises, nothing too complex and the results are there!!

  • Day 1: Back & Triceps
  • Day 2: Shoulders & Triceps
  • Day 3: Legs, calf & abs
  • Since my chest is already big enough and my goal is to be proportional and symmetrical, I skip this body part or train one chest exercise every two weeks.

    Sometimes I change my training to do super sets.

  • Day 1: Shoulders & Back
  • Day 2: Biceps & Triceps
  • Day 3: Legs, calf & abs
  • I never do cardio, I'm just a lucky to have a fast metabolism!!

    Favorite Bodyparts: Chest, legs & abs
    Favorite Exercise: Preacher curl biceps, Bench press

    What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
    When I prepare myself for a contest this is what I eat, 7 meals/day:


    6h00: 4oz lean meat + 2 eggs + 1 cup (strawberry, raspberry & blueberry) + 1 tbsp fish oil

    8h30: 6oz chicken + salad with olive oil & balsamic vinegar

    11h00: 6oz horse meat + 1 cup green vegetable

    13h00: 6oz chicken + 1 cup green vegetable

    16h00: 6oz shrimp + salad with olive oil & balsamic vinegar

    18h30: After my training, 2 scoops whey + 4 scoops carbs with 8oz grape juice & 300mg R-ALA + 2g. taurine

    21h00: 6oz salmon on BBQ + 1 cup green vegetable + 1 tbsp fish oil
     

    After 3-4 weeks I take one cheat meal every five days (I always eat pizza ;-) And when I am not dieting ... I eat everything I want!!!!


     

    What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
    Mmmmm there is no magic supplements, to obtain great result there is one thing do to: EAT WELL, because I believe it is your best tool for growth. Nothing beats being consistent with your diet seven days a week. Remember this: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!

    Favourite Supplements: Ultimate Nutrition Iso-Sensation 93, Allmax Nutrition IsoFLEX, Glutamine

    Why Do You Love Bodybuilding?
    Bodybuilding brings me so many good things. It helps me understanding how my body works and how it responds to different diets. I can use it in everyday meals when I’m not on diet. While understanding the three mains categories (Protein, fat & carbs) and adjusting it to obtain the results I desire.

    After many years of training and learning about this sport (for me it is a lifestyle) and I can adapt my training to sculpt my body. I want to do the right exercises I need to grow my weak body parts and then be symmetrical and proportional.

    What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
    My goal is to always improve my physique and to be better than the year before!

    Now my dream is to be on the cover of a Fitness Magazine ... To obtain a Fitness/underwear/fashion modeling contract!!!
     

    What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
    Train hard, eat well and train natural. It will take longer to obtain results, but it worth it and you will keep you shape longer. Take your time, train well and it will pay off!!!!
