How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

I got started in college, I played baseball and wanted to gain size. Once my career in baseball was over I decided to take up bodybuilding. I started working for a nutritional company after college and have been bodybuilding for the past 4 years now. When I first started I was only about 150lbs, now I weigh about 205lbs(offseason) and 170-175(contest). I pride myself on being a natural bodybuilder and would really like to see the sport of  Natural bodybuilding become more popular.

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

Well currently I am prepping for a contest so my routine is very high intense. I like to combine heavy training with concentration training. I like to lift heavy year round especially when dieting as I feel this promotes a more anabolic response.

What’s your diet like?

My diet right now is right around 2,240 cal which brings my macros to 280g of protein, 120 carbs, and 100g of healthy fats. Every eighteenth meal I carb up and replace my meal #6 with 120 carbs and 30 g of healthy fats. I eat 6 meals a day and also drink 1 scoop of LG Sciences Lipotropic Protein in the middle of the night. I am sponsored by LG Sciences, they provide me with some of the best supplements I have ever used. I have gotten great gains from using their Lipotropic Protein, BC+EAA, I-GH-1, Ghenerate, and their pre workout Anadraulic Pump. During my offseason I had used their Methyl 1D and Methyl Masterdrol and got great size and strength. I currently have added in their fat burner Speed V2 and I got to say that it works so well that I sweat all day long. I use their protein as two of my meals and drink the BC+EAA during and post workout.  The I-GH-1 and Ghenerate are used preworkout and before bed.  LG Sciences has really helped me out in getting the gains I needed to turn Pro.

What’s your motivation?

My motivation stems from my drive to be the best and turn Pro this year. I won my first show last year and am looking to compete in a couple NGA Pro Qualifiers this year. I have been focused on turning pro since my last show back in July, when I made it to the overall but did not get that pro card.

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

My advice about bodybuilding is be the best you can be. Bodybuilding is not about how many trophies you win or how big your biceps are; its about a lifestyle that must be lived everyday. Its about the guy/girl who decides to put health and fitness above all. Do not worry about what others around you are doing, just stay true to yourself and do your best.

Proudest bodybuilding/fitness accomplishment?

My proudest moment in bodybuilding was in June 2009 when I won 1^st place in the middleweight class at the NGA Night of Champions Pro Qualifier. Most of my family attended and it was truly a blessing to achieve victory in front of them and compete with the best.

Any plans for the future?

My plans for the future include turning Pro in the NGA and competing in my first Pro show this year. My ultimate goal would be to compete in the Natural Mr. Olympia contest held in Australia. I also plan on getting into fitness modeling and hope to get a cover one day.

Favourite Cheat Meal?

Honestly my favorite cheat food is pizza. I dont eat it at all when prepping for a show, but in the off season I probably eat it once a week. Its my weakness.

Favourite Exercise?

My favorite exercise would be squats. This is by far the most anabolic exercise that can be performed. It utilizes almost all of the muscles in the body and increases testosterone and growth hormone levels.

Favourite Bodybuilder?

The most influential bodybuilder I have ever met is Troy Alves. He is a great guy who doesn’t mind giving out advice and tips to anyone interested. He leaves his ego aside and really represents the sport well.

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

I got started after I saw a photo spread of the results from an IFBB Pro Fitness show. I fell in love with the strength and focus of the ladies and I wanted to train to look like that.

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

For contest prep I use an upper body/ lower body training split with AM and PM cardio sessions. I also vary the cardio sessions from steady rate to intervals to break up the endless cardio sessions.

What’s your diet like?

I have a nutrient intake that is high in lean protein with complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. I am also consistent with the foods that I eat and determined to maintain my planned intake levels, no cheats!

What’s your motivation?

The idea of constant improvement motivates me to continue training and competing.

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

Keep at it! Don’t Quit! Every meal is a chance to turn things around and start on a healthier lifestyle-Don’t miss your opportunity!!

Any plans for the future?

I am lookingforward to the 2010 competition season for myself and my competition clients.

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

For me it was something I attempted for fun after being a successful athlete in my yrs of a Teenager. It became addictive, something about slapping the Iron around that is enjoyable!

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

Personally I enjoy the German-Volume which is higher reps, more sets, using a heavier weight than normal to really push your body to the test. It creates ultimate lean muscle mass like no other & halfway thru the 8 weeks of torment it switches to drop-sets & negatives, awesome muscle confusion!

What’s your diet like?

Its similar to what Dr’s call a Mediterranean diet for the most part. My diet is pretty boring & repetitive but works great for me. Sample is Meal 1: 6 egg whites, 2 whole eggs & a cup of oatmeal mixed w/tbslp of peanut butter & flax seed. Meal 2: 2 tbsp’s Cottage Cheese, raw veggie of choice. Meal 3: 8 ozChicken breast or fish & cup of brown rice. Meal 4: pre-workout 1 scoop of whey protein w/non-fat milk. Meal 5: Postworkout 2 scoops of whey protein w/1 tbsp of Sugar. Meal 6: Cup of Mixed Greens salad, tbsp of Oil-based dressing, Grilled Sirloin Steak or Chicken & cup of beans of choice or rice Meal 7: Before bed 1 scoop of Casien Protein & nonfat milk for recovery while sleeping.

What’s your motivation?

Growing up as a kid I was picked on for being the smallest until about the age of fifteen. So I transform all my obstacles of emotional pain growing up & all the doubters who said I would amount to nothing into visual motivation in my mind! Everyone who walked away or was negative during my goals helped propel me into a determined outrage, really do appreciate them!

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

No one can stop you from being successful except yourself, keep a positive driving attitude & greatness is yours!

Any plans for the future?

Currently working on being a sponsored athlete, certified personal trainer, & entering bodybuilding competition this year.

Favourite Bodybuilder?

Mark Dugdale, excellent role-model & his workout ethics have taught me so much in just a year!

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

When I was a boy my father used to own a general store and I used to collect a batch of comic books from him every week. I remembered looking at all the super heroes with the upmost admiration of their perfected physiques. Then my father brought home The Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger and I remember telling my father that I couldn’t wait to grow up and look exactly like him. I was always involved in numerous sports including soccer, martial arts, football, track and wrestling. I remember it wasn’t until my sophomore year in high school that I began to truly educate myself on the principles of nutrition and programming my training methods. After two months of supplement use and intense training I gained 25 pounds and it was at that point that my mentor told me I truly had a gift to body build. So I took it into hard consideration and of course I asked permission from my parents to compete in bodybuilding, but they told me to finish college and let football pay for my education before I decided to do that. So as time passed I continued to play sports and I furthered my education of the human body studying kinesiology and physiology and general nutrition. I then graduated college with honors and excelled as an All American in football and planned my first show in the next four months.

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

I truly never walk into the gym with a set routine. Like Arnold I believe in shocking the body for obtaining the best quality muscle. Week to week my days may change as far as to what body parts I want to compound together and every routine I have always starts with an alternative exercise and ends with an alternative exercise.

What’s your diet like?

My diet is consistent of a lower carb base with higher protein and substantially high fats.  As a natural bodybuilder and with my specific metabolism I’ve found that when I cut my carbs below 150 grams and sustain my fats around 80 grams with a protein intake of 400 grams my body responds like a sponge. I know that it is of the upmost importance to keep natural testosterone levels sustained at their highest and saturated fats and essential fatty acids are the key to do so.  In the offseason I tend to just eat protein bars as a cheat and a little sushi here and there; I’m definitely not the kind of guy you’ll see that puts on 40 pounds, but rather about 10-12 at the highest.

What’s your motivation?

I am motivated by the thought of excelling far beyond the means of human capability. I want to truly test what anyone can achieve with human potential and will power. I am motivated by the thought that I am a role model to those who choose the natural path of bodybuilding and decide to live a healthy lifestyle.  In turn, I want the world to look upon me as an anomaly, as a work of art.

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

If I could truly give one piece of advice to anyone out there who wants to be a part of the bodybuilding/fitness world it’s that patience truly is a virtue. Time and time again as a trainer I see so many that come into the gym hoping that two weeks will fix everything, but truly the case is that it takes consistency and discipline. Diet is the upmost key to obtaining any goal whether it is mass or cut, one must stay absolutely on track without distraction or deviation.  Also you must remember that your body is unique. In other words, because one exercise routine may work for one somatotype it will not necessarily work for the other.

Any plans for the future?

My plans for the future are simple, to be one of the greatest natural bodybuilders of all time. I want to win a national level show and then compete for the Mr. Universe title. Currently, I am providing content for a nutrition website that will allow users not only to document their food but they will be provided training programs for their specific needs. Once it is finished, I then plan to upgrade the site with video content on proper training techniques and some of my own specific techniques.

Favorite Bodybuilder?

My favorite bodybuilder of all time is the pioneer of bodybuilding, Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

I first learned about the sport of competitive fitness when Fitness girls would come to my gymnastics gym to learn how to tumble. But it wasn’t until a couple years ago that I started tossing around the idea of perhaps training and competing myself. After I retired from gymnastics (18 yo), I didn’t workout at all for all of college. It wasn’t until I was working full time that I realized how unhappy I’d become with my weight. I joined a gym and started doing cardio and lifting with a trainer. Around that time I moved across the country for grad school and ended up gaining back all the weight I had lost. Then last March, I decided enough’s enough. I wanted to set a goal and commit to competing. I looked up the next local Fitness/Figure/Bodybuilding competition in my area. At the show I gathered pamphlets on local trainers, and pick the one that seemed to be the best fit. I called the next Monday, set an appointment and the rest, as they say, is history.

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

What don’t I do? Nah.. I do a five or six day split depending on my school/work schedule and time out from competition, in combination with HIIT, steady state cardio, Spin and Yoga. I also just signed up for my first Muay Thai class, can’t wait!

What’s your diet like?

It depends! Around 12 weeks out from show I start cutting. For my first competitions in November I Carb-cycled, starting 3 low (30g Carb, 200g Protein) and one high (130g, 200g Protein). At around 4 weeks out we mixed it up to slow my weight and body fat loss. Right now I’m in building-phase, so my diet’s just generally pretty healthy. I’m still high protein (aim for 200g/day), but my carbs and fat are higher now too (aim for 150+g and 50+ respectively). My main macro sources are:

• Protein: protein powder, chicken, tilapia, salmon, tofu, greek yogurt and cottage cheese,
• Carbs: oatmeal, oat bran, sweet potato, pumpkin, winter squash
• Fats: Avocado, Fish oils, Coconut oil, Udo’s Oil, raw Nut Butters

What’s your motivation?

Feeling great! It sounds so simple, but working out makes me happy.. what can I say, I’m an endorphin junky! Of course it’s nice to look a certain way, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I enjoyed being <8% body fat, but that’s not the main driver. I love the feeling right after a killer workout, whether it be from pushing through an extra few reps, upping the resistance for a Spin class or ending up drenched after an 80 minute Yoga classes. I leave the gym feeling happier, more confident, more energetic than when I entered.

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

This is a selfish sport. Know why you’re doing it. If/when you are confident in your convictions, don’t be thrown off by what anyone else says. Unless they’ve competed, they can’t understand, no matter how supportive they want to be. Those last couple months before a show, I think it’s more of a mental game than anything else. But when you’re on that stage, you’ll know it’s worth it, and you’ll finished stronger, both mentally and physically, than you ever thought you could be.

Any plans for the future?

I plan to compete on the national level in both Fitness & Figure. Right now my goal is Jr. USA’s in Texas in August. But who knows.. I’ll keep you updated

Favourite Bodybuilder?

To be honest, I don’t follow that closely. I admire different characteristics about each and every competitor. The most inspirational competitors are those who have overcome great obstacles, and mothers raising families.

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

I got started with bodybuilding when I was in college. My friends dared me to enter the www.bodybuilding.com teen bodybuilder of the week contest, and I won. After that, I told myself I was going to compete. Soon after, I entered my first bodybuilding competition in late May 2007, where I earned 2nd place light heavyweight in a South Jersey NPC show. What can I say, I was hooked! Since that first competition in 2007 I have competed in about 5 bodybuilding shows and 3 fitness modeling shows. I still train and live the lifestyle of a bodybuilder but am sticking to fitness modeling for now because I enjoy staying lean year round, building muscle very slowly.

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

Recently I have adopted a training philosophy recommended by pro natural bodybuilder Layne Norton. Layne is truly a great guy and offers a wealth of knowledge with contest prep and nutritional/training information. Basically. I follow a power/hypertrophy split…with the earlier days focusing on more of a power phase (more weight/less reps) and later in the week split the body parts and focus on more of a hypertrophy response(moderate weight/more reps) and better pump. I really emphasize the core lifts though more than anything (deadlifts, squats, bench pres, barbell curls, pullups, barbell rows etc)

What’s your diet like?

Diet primarily relies on whether I’m trying to bulk up a bit or cut down…I keep it pretty simple…I eat a lot of the same foods…and just manipulate my calories to about 300-500 cals above or below maintenance(goal depending). I am a little more lenient when I don’t have any shows or shoots…and sometimes I will throw in a nice cheat meal once or twice a week. Other than that though, my diet is on point and kept pretty strict. I don’t really consider it a diet, because I like everything I eat. The only thing that changes is HOW MUCH I am eating.

What’s your motivation?

My motivation comes from many places. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer back around 2002 and passed away four years ago in 2006. Ever since then, I have really aspired to work as possibly hard as I can to make her proud and do all the things people said I couldn’t. I use this motivation in every day: every rep, set and exercise…she is there to push me even further. My mind has been so clear and focused these last few years. Also, I went through quite the transformation in a five month period back in 2008. I decided, “man, I could be in those magazines” so I went for it. I was 250lbs and just didn’t feel good about myself. Constantly eating just to maintain that weight was just too difficult. So in those five months, I dropped about 45 lbs. and since then have gotten signed non-exclusively with a fitness modeling agency in NYC and have been published in two fitness magazines (Exercise for Men Only and Men’s Exercise) in 2009.

In addition, I enjoy being a role model for other guys and always strive to be “what every guy wants to look like.”

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

Getting the body of your dreams takes time. Don’t rush it. Eat right and form a gameplan. Rome wasn’t built in one day, and neither is your body. Be smart.

Any plans for the future?

Plans for the future include getting signed on with a reputable supplement company and being one of their primary fitness athletes. Also to continue competing in fitness modeling competitions and also working with several agencies in NYC and hopefully branching out and making a name for myself in the industry. My life is an open book, just working hard and seeing where life takes me.

Favourite Bodybuilder?

Right now it is Jay Cutler bc the guy just doesn’t quit. Also I like Dexter Jackson bc he has a slightly leaner shredded more symmetrical look. Back in the day, definitely ARNOLD.

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

Well to be honest I  picked up my first weights in 8th grade, why? Well because I was afraid I was going to get picked on and beat up in high school. I had seen so many movies and tv shows where the skinny kid gets picked on and hates highschool. I did not want that to be my future. However I really began to get serious in  1999 around my sophomore year in high school. I saw a few of my friends from the football team walk into the gym shirtless after school during open gym. I was shocked to see how much muscle they had and I immediately decided I would look like that some day. I talked with one of them and he invited me to start working out with him after school, and he pretty much taught me the basics of how to workout and preform a few core lifts. From that point on I tried to get my hands on as much information about health, fitness and bodybuilding as I could. I started reading FLEX magazine and working out 2-3 times a day on top of my basketball practices. I was definitely over training, but I had developed such a strong passion for weight lifting that I wanted to spend every minute of my time doing it. I would drink protein shakes in the middle of class and people would look at me like I was crazy, but  I didn’t care because I was on a mission to build muscle

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

If only it was that simple, then we call use one simple routine and get in the best shapes of our lives. Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that, the routine that works for one person may be over training for another or might not be enough stress on the muscles to cause adaption for others. Its all about finding out what works for you and your body type, that’s the tricky part. You can try out others routines and techniques to get ideas of what to do , but in the end you have to develop something custom that fits your goals and needs to get the most progress. This is the exact reason why on my site http://www.time2transform.com I created a new section called the making of a gymrat. I decided to start posting my pictures, workout routines, diets and even video of my training from all the way back in 99 until present day. I believe that will help individuals out more by allowing them to see the entire journey that allowed me to create the physique I have today. I wouldn’t expect a beginner to pick up and start using my current routine and diet and expect to get the same results. Hoever they might get a lot of benefit using one of my routines or diets from the previous years when my training level was closer to theirs. Now they can look at a time line of my training routines and diets and find the one that most closely represents where they are currently at in their progress. Its still in the beginning stages, but just the other day I added a video of me from back in 2004 and I couldn’t believe the changes that had occured. I hope this section will help others to reach their goals and fitness dreams by providing them with the inspiration to see how you can change overtime if you stick with it.

What’s your diet like?

Right now I follow a pretty simple carb cycling diet. I alternate between medium and low carb menus through out the week days. Then on Saturday I do a high carb day and Sunday is practically a no carb day. I eat the same meals every week most of the time, every once in a while I will mix it up with a different protein source. My proteins of choice right now are; lean ground beef, eggs, egg whites, and  chicken. My slow digesting carbs come from; oatmeal, brown rice, yams and green vegetables. My fast digesting carbs of choice are; white rice, potato, and fruits.

What’s your motivation?

I have many sources for motivation. The people I inspire are actually my biggest form of motivation. Every time I hear somebody say that my transformation has helped them to believe that they can also make a change in their life. Just knowing that what I have done and what I am doing is giving others the motivation and courage to do it for them self is a huge motivator. My family and friends also motivate me, because they have supported me and stuck by my side from the very beginning when it looked like I was making no progress and would never change. Without them to help me get through the hard times I would not have made it to where I am today. Lastly, but certainly not the least important is the self motivation. I believe if you are going to make a huge change in your life, such as getting in shape or any other changes you must have self motivation or you will not succeed. When everyone else is going out to parties or to fast food places to eat you have the sole decision on whether you will participate or not.  No one else can make that decision for you, if your not making the changes for the right reason then when you approach the really big obstacles you will not have the necessary desire need to get past them and continue on in yoru quest for a better life.

If you could give once piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

Well the two things that I always try to pass on to others are 1.)Don’t expect results over night,  it takes time and consistency to get the results you desire. The first two years on my training I made little to no visible changes, I had people making fun of me, because I was training so much and all I talked about was fitness, but yet they could see no real difference. I was made fun of and called muscles ( as an ironic nickname), but if I had given up because of that I would not have ever made it as far as I have. I now wear that name muscles as a badge of honor that I earned(hence my bodyspace nickname Musclez99) and the same people that never notice the changes now can’t believe what I look like. 2.) Train your muscles not your ego when your in the gym, Especially in the beginning don’t get so caught up in how much weight your lifting. I used to feel so uncomfortable in the high school weight room, becuase I was the weakest and smallest one in there. My football friends would be benching 225 and then take off the plates so I could barely do 135 with help. One day my friend noticed that I was starting to feel like I didn’t belong and he looked at me and said “look around, see everyone in this gym, they all had to start somewhere. They didn’t just wake up and magically they could bench 225.” That changed my whole outlook on things and I was no longer concerned with how much I was lifting, but rather was I working hard and performing the exercises with proper form to allow my muscles to get the greatest benefit. Don’t get so caught up in trying to impress people that you forget to actually workout.

Any plans for the future?

The future is unknown for me at the moment, I may do more competitions, modeling, or personal training. I’m not sure exactly what I will be doing, but I know that I will continue to inspire and help others reach their goals and I will be stronger and wiser than I am today. I will never stop trying to learn more about health and fitness and I will never know enough.

How did you get started in the world of bodybuilding?

When I chose the GREATEST profession in the world as being a firefighter, it was hard for me being the only woman. I was told I couldn’t do it, I wasn’t strong enough, blah blah blah. I wanted to prove myself. I knew it was physically challenging so I knew I had my work cut out for me. I started training but it wasn’t anything to talk about, I was still out of shape. I just wasn’t serious enough at the time. I found out I was going to Iraq and decided I wanted to change and it was a perfect time to do so. Like I said I worked out in the states but I wanted MORE. I wanted to feel sexy, look sexy, turn heads, didn’t want anyone to doubt that I couldn’t do my job, etc. On top of that all my friends were small, but not in shape and I always wanted to be like them. I hated going out with them because I felt like the fat girl. I wasn’t happy with myself at all. My confidence was in the dirt, self-esteem was horrible & I was sick of walking with my head down. Something HAD to change. Now I am working my way to the body I dreamed of & my head is held high!!!!

I never planned on becoming this addicted to it and now I can’t stop. I have never felt so good in my life. It is by far my daily drug! I went from wanting this body part like this, to getting it, now I want to be on stage with the best! I have a long ways to go but I am determined & I know I will get there.

What Training Routine Do You Use To Get That Quality Physique?

I use a training routine based on high reps for the most part. I train a different bodypart everyday. Rest time is minimal 45-50 seconds between sets.

What’s your diet like?

I eat every 2.5 hrs with cycling carbs and lots and lots of protein.

What’s your motivation?

I know what I want so I go for it. I surround myself with motivation. Magazines, hearing about someone else’s training, dvds, going to shows, training with someone, pictures of other women I look up too, previous pictures of myself, my friends and family who make comments about my progress. Bodyspace has been one of my BIGGEST motivation tools. Everyone on there keeps me going. The people who believe in me & know that I want it soooo bad.

If you could give one piece of advice about bodybuilding/fitness what would it be?

Stay consistent, eat clean ALL the time, surround yourself with people who want the same and DON’T STOP!!!!

Proudest bodybuilding/fitness accomplishment?

Everything has been an accomplishment this far for me. Even the smallest change. I am nowhere that I would like to be but I am getting there day by day. I would probably have to say doing a show in Iraq just to see if its something I wanted. I’ve never felt sooooo good. I knew it was what I wanted more than anything.

Any plans for the future?

OHHHH YEAH….Compete in bodybuilding one day and I would LOOOOVE to get a spread in a magazine. A corner is fine with me

Favorite Cheat Meal?

Favorite Quote?

You push the weight until you taste the iron in your teeth. The callouses on your hands are your badge of honor, and while others sleep, you ache & moan. It’s not a life you ask for, but one you become because to settle is to die.
