Growing up I was pretty skinny but athletic and in my teens clubbing, going to the beach and checking out girls was the order of the day. My introduction to weight training and bodybuilding began sometime around 1982 when a friend introduced me to pumping iron. I would look at pictures of bodybuilders and do hundreds of push-ups and train with home-made (one-of-a-kind) equipment - then one day, lo and behold, I discovered I had muscles! One hundred and seventy hard-earned pounds of it - so naturally, I became attached to them. So much so, that I entered my first bodybuilding competition in 1984. By 1993, hardcore training was running through my veins so much that during each repetition of every set I would chant slogans like "Death before dishonour!" or "Only death can stop me!". Of course, with mantras like these, I had a tendency towards training to the extreme - occasionally, even to the point of injury. Though I had the knowledge, It was not until 1997 that I really appreciated the importance of proper nutrition and how to use it to achieve the look you want without training to the point of death or dishonour. This new appreciation helped me train through a back injury (among others) for my last competition in 2003. I have a passion for bodybuilding, nutrition and everything fitness and with 31 years of lifting and 22 years of being a professional personal trainer under my belt, I've garnered quite a bit of knowledge (and opinions) on the topics.
