How did you get started?I first got into weights in school to build myself up and get stronger. At the time I started off doing Olympic lifting where I did a heap of cleans and snatches e.t.c. I then got into power lifting & quickly moved into bodybuilding after seeing two bodybuilders in action – J.D Duwado Gary & Taylor who went on to be worlds strongest man
What your diet consists of & why?My off season diet consists of large amounts of low GI carbs e.g. Oats and high protein lean protein, fish, chicken, turkey e.t.c.

What are your max lifts?
I never answer this question no matter how many times people ask me as I never train for max lifts. My training style is based on lifting as much weight as I can for high reps in the 15 to 20 rep range if my reps drop below that range say to between 10 to 12 I will bring in drop sets to bring up the reps and intensity. If the rep range is 15 reps the weight must increase each set but the reps remain at 15.
What’s your opinion on the run of the mill “Bulk & cut” way of training
Bulking up is designed to add bodyweight and muscle size to the body, the real question is what type of bodyweight. If done over a long period of time then good heavy quality muscle gains can be achieved bringing up the bodies weight, if done at a fast rate then most of that bodyweight will be fat! My approach to bulking up is a steady increase in calories both carbs and protein building them up then keeping them up increasing my training intensity (heavy weights high reps) which allows my body to use the food I eat to build and repair my muscles fully.
Who is your favorite bodybuilder?
Lee Haney & Ronnie Coleman
