How Did You Get Started?

I started lifting because I always wanted to have a strong body and be the biggest kid around. As a little kid I would do push-ups, sit ups, pull ups and run just to be ahead of all the other kids. Around 9th grade I decided to step it up and hit the weights for bigger gains. I am glad I have a very dedicated attitude and got into lifting.

What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?

I don't have any set eating plans. I do eat healthy though, eating mostly organic food. Stay away from fast food and soda and also bad ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils and aspartame. Things I mostly eat include steak, eggs, cereal, and chicken. I also make sure to drink lots of water. Eat until you are satisfied.

I would tell people two things. One is to use correct form while lifting. It is important to grow your muscles properly. Second, always go to the gym even if you don't feel like it. It is important to stay on task.
