The one tip I would give other bodybuilders, is to keep all your doors open. Very few people make it in the sport of bodybuilding, so don't put all your eggs in one basket. Your health is more important than any trophy.

Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?

My favorite current bodybuilder is Jay Cutler, because he is a nice guy with a phenomenal physique. However, I have the most respect for Lee Haney, because he accomplished so much in the sport without sacrificing his faith or his family. Faith and family are the too things I hold more dear than any worldly accomplishments.
