Nothing in life comes easy. I’ve learned this through various experiences. When I was 6 I was pretty sure I was going to be a professional tennis player. I was obsessed. By the time I turned 11 I was really burnt out from playing tennis and discovered that turning professional was going to be a [...]

As time goes by I continue to learn more and more about my body. I never fully understood the way it operated until I started competing and was forced to stick to an extremely regimented diet and exercise program on a daily basis. Very subtle changes to my diet or my exercise routine have a [...]

Well I didn’t bring home the trophy in the Fit Body Contest I competed in over the weekend in Florida, but I did bring home some experience to grow on and some thoughts to chew on. Whether you are a competitor or not, there is always a certain amount of disappointment that comes along with [...]

Three weeks from today I will be flying to Sacramento to compete in the NPC Sacramento Bodybuilding and Figure Championships. I started getting serious with my diet this show in the beginning of the summer and then started my contest prep diet and training in the beginning of August.

I took a little hiatus from posting on my website – not because it was a conscious decision, rather I simply did not feel like writing and I was saying to myself “what’s the point”. Then it got me thinking – isn’t that what most people say when they go off their diet or stop [...]

Flipping through this month’s issue of Oxygen or Muscle & Fitness, women with perfectly sculpted arms and rippling abs adorn the pages, advertising this month’s latest scientific phenomenon that will magically transform us into a body of steel.
