Biggest highlight of career: The biggest highlight of my career thus far was my fitness modeling assignment featured in the December 2004 issue of Muscle & Fitness Magazine (Encyclopedia Legs).

When did you realize you wanted to get into Bodybuilding/fitness? Working out has always felt naturally to me. Even at a young age, approximately 9 or 10 years old, I saw a picture of Lee Labrada in Ironman Magazine and knew that I wanted to be in a “muscle mag” one day. Doctors advised against weight training since I was so young, so I did push-ups and pull-ups every night. Eventually, I got older, hit the gym and saw results, but I was never satisfied. I have done lot of self-study - reading journal articles, research and empirical data, magazines, anything I can get my hands on. I am still always learning. It’s a passion of mine, a calling that I’ve always had even as a young boy.

Favorite exercise: Deadlifts
Favorite piece of cardio equipment: StairMill
Describe your training routine: I am always switching up my routine, so I don’t necessarily have ONE that I always follow. Currently, I’m following the diet and training protocol as outlined in Lyle McDonald’s book Ultimate Diet 2 (UD2). This should only be followed for 6-8 weeks.

Otherwise, here’s an example of one of my favorite split routines:
Day 1: Chest/Tri’s
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Shoulders/Traps
Day 5: Back/Bi’s
Day 6: Chest/Tri’s
Day 7: Off
Day 8: Repeat cycle (beginning with Legs)

Days off are Wednesday and Sunday. It’s a 4-day split over 5 days so I just pick up the following Monday where I left off and so on and so forth.

Finish this sentence- Most people would be surprised if they find out that……I’m a school psychologist. People always say, “You don’t look like a psychologist.”
