Bodybuilding Goals: “To win the ‘Triple Crown’ – Mr. Olympia, the Arnold Classic, and the GNC show!”

Biggest Influences: “Of course, my family is my inspiration more than anything. I take my family very seriously, perhaps more seriously than other people. I'm not just a person who heads out to the clubs every chance he gets. It's totally the opposite for me. When I can spend time with my family, I do.”

Words of Wisdom: “Follow your dreams, keep the sport fun, and don't get too down on yourself if you don't win every show. Have a good time and you'll be in the sport a lot longer than someone who is really let down when they don't win. It takes time to build a championship physique, so stay consistent with your diet. Keep your protein intake high and you'll make gains and have fun with the sport. Also, remember to take your CELL-TECH and NITRO-TECH.”

Something interesting that few people know about you: “I was going to compete in my first bodybuilding competition when I was 15, but I chickened out because I was very shy! That's something people don't really realize about me: I'm very shy! When I'm up there onstage, I just try to fake it and pretend that I'm not shy. But bodybuilding has really helped me with my self-confidence in everyday life. Also, I started college at a young age [16]. I was a lot younger than my comrades were. I think that has a lot to do with my tenacity and mental toughness today. It's in my psyche.”
