How Did You Get Started?

I got started training when I was 15 in high school. I used to be on the track team where I met the weights, and I started to love them. Soon enough I began seeing a significant muscle increase and it motivated me to continue and explore this fascinating world that continues giving me joy and happiness.

Why do you love Bodybuilding?

I really like training hard, feeling the last repetition, adding more weight, and getting home happy and exhausted. Thanks to the people I met helping me find my way in this passionate sport.

What Motivates You To Follow A Healthy Lifestyle?

From an early age I was involved with many sports, individual and group, some harder than others but all have something special, something that grabs you and makes you keep going, motivates you and makes you a better person, gives you encouragement, joy and peace.

What Made You Want To Achieve Your Goals?

The need to overcome, to go beyond, to do what others cannot. That motivates me to keep going, and I'm on the way to achieving that now.
