How Did You Get Started?

As I remember I was 3 or 4 years old when I watched "Pumping Iron" with my grandfather. It was like a magical moment. I turned and told my grandfather "I want to be like that big man". The big man was Arnold Schwarzenegger and I was sure that I would be a bodybuilder one day.

I always felt that excitement when I saw or watched someone working out in my childhood and I was trying to be like them with my simple tools and equipment (most of them toys). At school I played soccer, basketball and did some other sports but since the age of 17 I am just living my dream: Bodybuilding.

Why do you love Bodybuilding?

I love bodybuilding more and more everyday. But I don't think I have a reason for this. It is a basic instinct for me and it must be the real love! I cannot think a life without bodybuilding. The sounds of steels, the challenge of hard training, discipline, feeling the pump in my muscles, all makes me feel like I am living in another world.

I had my first contest in April and I got second place. I was the only natural. I will stay natural and try to win it. Hard but not impossible! I am planning to have a very clean off season and put on some mass. Then I will prepare for the contest next year. Bigger and more shredded!
