"Hi I’d say it starts with a vision of what you have for yourself and a belief that you can accomplish it".

"Being around people that are like minded in achieving similar goals or being around people that have achieved their goals is important and then really committing yourself that you will do anything to achieve your goals. What I did was set small goals for myself, the first time I went back to the gym I just sat around watching everyone for two weeks and done nothing but watched and soaked up the atmosphere until I really wanted to be there".

"Before you can train your body you have to prepare and train your mind into new habits I didn’t want to be like the rabbit that burns out I wanted to improve myself overtime and had a persistent tortoise approach slow and steady. The next step for me after I was able to train more consistently was to aim to do a local gym challenge, which helped give me a new level of improvement. Later after tackling this I was confident enough to team up with real nutrition and get serious.
Right now I find that 3-4 days a week of hard training for 45-60 minutes helps me to grow'.

"A perfect week for me right now would be Monday Tuesday, Thursday Friday - train weights. Wednesday and Saturday some form of cardio to keep a base fitness level until I step it up closer to competition. So 5-6 quality hours a week works good for me".

"Thank you eat everything you can!  lol…. actually two things; effective eating and effective training. I’m fortunate I have Jacquie and Tim Dale of real nutrition monitor how much food I need, also the types of food makes a difference and the times that you eat your meals can affect weather your body will use it too build muscle or store as fat. With training Ive had Awesome training partners and have found that for myself heavy weight with strict technique increases the intensity and causes muscle to grow as long as you get in some adequate rest also".

"I view supplements like insurance, maybe you need it maybe you don’t, because I want to be competitive in my sport and be at my personal best I take professional supplements and use them as I need them.

"Its not for me, Drugs are part of the sport and you need your freaks to attract the big crowds, I cant change this, but I can change myself I started bodybuilding as a way to improve myself and my health, steroids is not going to help me achieve that. I understand and share the same never say die attitude that these enhanced athletes have and take my hat off to them because they still have to get their butts in the gym and go to war, even more so then most. They have committed themselves to achieving what they want and I am committed to achieving what I want this might mean that I don’t always win first prize but I’ll fight tooth and nail to get it with in the confines of my own natural genetics I definitely feel like a winner once I’m up on stage".

"Yes I am competing this year in two IFBB shows possibly three, and will work closely with Jacquie and Tim to help us present our best. I’d love to compete at the Natural Olympia competition which is the ultimate achievement for any natural Bodybuilder but am in no rush as Family priorities come first. So in the mean time I’ll just continue to pay my dues and enjoy life". Thank you very much
