Why do you love Bodybuilding?

The challenge of taking your body to its limits. The respect from others and focus it gives you in other areas of life. I also overcame a significant health issue in the past 6 months that only came to light due to a contest preparation. This has helped my bodybuilding enormously but also helped lots of other areas as well! I am also a physiotherapist by profession, so I have a bit of a sadomasochistic nature... haha!

What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?

BIG, HUGE plans this year, to win my overall state title and win my division at the nationals and go to natural universe! I am by far in my best off-season shape at 200lb at 12% BF, hopefully getting to 205lb before cutting to a razor sharp 176lb at contest (very dry I suspect). BIG GOALS…. BIG RESULTS!

What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?

Big poundage makes big muscles. Work your foundation on the big core movements that most guys shy away from (i.e. squats, deadlifts, dips, chins etc). Keep good form and progress by numbers!!! I have never seen small arms on a guy who can strictly bench 300lb for reps, or small legs on a guy who can squat 400lb for reps! Oh, but make sure you get enough rest and DO NOT OVERTRAIN, its the enemy of all natural bodybuilders!!!

Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?

Danny Chau, Jeff Willett, Skip LaCour, Lee Priest and of course ARNOLD!
