Our Amateur Bodybuilder of the Week was...
Adrian Melia
How Did You Get Started?
I mainly got started through training for boxing. I had been doing a lot of push ups, chin ups and sit ups and I loved the pump I got in my chest and back. There was weight in the gym I boxed at and started playing about with them. I started seeing results and getting stronger and improved my boxing. I also loved comic books and loved the super hero look and it inspired me to try and get the super hero look.
I kept training and continued to see results. I entered junior powerlifting contests and won a few titles but I always preferred the bodybuilder look and decided to train as a bodybuilder again.

Why do you love Bodybuilding?
I love bodybuilding because I love the discipline it gives me it gives me goals to strive for and I also apply this discipline to my business and every other aspect of my life and I feel empowered due to this.
What Motivates You To Follow A Healthy Lifestyle?
Seeing results motivates me. I feel I am against myself in the gym and nobody else. I do not want to sit around and be out of shape I want to feel good and look good and I feel empowered by the feeling of being in shape. Also I feel more confident myself and this helps me with my day to day work wither it be meeting prospective clients or people in general if your confident people usually take notice hopefully in a good way.
What Made You Want To Achieve Your Goals?
I feel the most important thing that has made me want to achieve my goals is drive. I have heard people say you cannot do this or that but to be honest it just made me more ambitious to prove everyone wrong. To show that through knowledge hard work inner drive and focus you can achieve what you want and always push boundaries. Rich Gaspari is one of the great examples of just pushing boundaries with both his competition condition and supplement line.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
My future goals are to win a RIBBF show. And to continue to improve my physique and launch my own supplement line.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
Be consist ant and to apply your bodybuilding lifestyle and discipline to other aspects of your life. Remember Rome was not built in a day and neither will your physique.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
Frank Zane, Dexter Jackson, and Victor Martinez.
What Features Do You Use On Bodybuilding.com?
I read a lot of the articles on Bodybuilding.com especially when I was dieting down. Layne Norton wrote a great article on water manipulation and sodium loading that was unreal help to me. Also I really like looking through the Amateur Bodybuilders of the Week for ideas and inspiration of what to do myself. BodySpace is also an invaluable resource for seeing what some people have done with their physique and achieved. I also love the review scoring system for the supplements and what people have thought of the supplements as in real world experience with them really helps find what works and does not work.
