How Did You Get Started?

I began lifting weights for football and rugby to increase my advantage over the other athletes. I was 15 at the time and not many trained but I was fortunate to be helped by older brothers who have been lifting for years. Once I started I was hooked and fell in love with the sport.

What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?

• Mon: Chest
• Tue: Quads
• Wed: Off
• Thu: Delts
• Fri: Hams/Traps
• Sat: Bis/Tris
• Sun: Off

My basic workout plan is a five-day split where I take 2 days off a week depending on where I feel like. I train heavy all year whether off season or on season I find I get my best results and keep most mass that way. With heavy weights people often sacrifice form but I keep my form strict to ensure maximum results.

What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?

I don't like to get fancy with eating I basically eat 4-5 solid meals and 2-3 shakes as well. This brings my protein to 300-400 everyday and 500 carbs roughly. My protein comes from tuna/chicken/red meat/eggs/whey and carbs from whole wheat/oats/potatoes and rice. My main concern is to not miss meals and anyone that knows me can tell you the same. People often underestimate the importance of nutrition and therefore don’t get the results.
