How Did You Get Started In Natural Bodybuilding?
I Trained through high school engaging in various athletics, not caring so much for the specialty of the sport, or that the possibility always loomed that no matter how hard I worked I could be punished for the lack of effort of a teammate. I loved the training required to perform at a high level, I just don't like getting screwed when it's not my fault. At 18 I found what I was looking for through Bodybuilding.
Bobybuilding has all the hard work, along with all the responsibility for mistakes, and all the credit for success. I never stopped training since then, but did not start competing until around three years ago. I have always liked doing what the rest of society will not.....try. Try and fail. Try and succeed. Whatever, just get the hell up and do something hard.
What's harder than hours of training, tons of food prep, and constant water consumption(or lack thereof depending on time)? I get up on stage to be judged for the work I do. That's it. If I sucked...my fault. If I win....well "I" win.
What's Your Philosophy On Training?
My philosophy on training is to perform a variety of functional movements, with the utmost intensity. I use heavy Olympic Lifting, Gymnastic training, and Cardio work in an seemingly endless allotment of formats to stimulate a huge neuroendocrine response. I move large loads, quickly, over long distances. In short...I CrossFit. Hans down the best program ever to date, and I have worked with many a trainer.
Big names, big brands, whatever. Nothing is as CrossFit is. I never use a Machine, or any isolation lift. Here's the kicker. Every workout I do is for score, or against a clock. I can measure what I do. I can see it work, and I can repeat it, or better it.
What's Your Workout Routine?
3 on 1 off, on a never ending cycle is about all I know about my training fom day to day...the rest is a surprise!
What Diet & Nutrition Plan Works For You?
Almost no starches. Only ½ cup oats throughout the entire day. 8 meals per day. All real food except for I Parillo bar after training. 200grams of greens at each meal. 8oz of lean pro at every meal. 12 almonds at every meal.
What is your nutrition plan for the on and off season?
No offseason. Meals stay same just 1 cheat day per week.
What are your favorite meals/foods?
Eggs and turkey. Almonds.
Favorite cheat food?
Pizza
What Supplements Do You Take, When And Why?
Caffeine: I want to attack every workout, and I think this little push is a great addition.
Cap-Tri: I consume 1tbs at each meal to add 114 clean calories to every meal. This takes my average daily calorie intake at roughly 4000 calories even while competing. The energy obtained is irreplaceable during grueling workouts.
Liver Aminos: Every single pill is about I gram of pro. Take over 50 of them a day, an you have yourself an abundance of clean calories to build muscle from. I only take supplements to enhance the things I already do right. If my diet was poor what would be the point. The supplements make a good diet, better.
Your Best 3 Tips To Help Others Reach Their Goals
CrossFit: Everything relies on proper hormone stimulation especially when your natural. Metaphorically speaking CrossFit is the only legal drug than can compare to true gear.
