[ Q ] Tell us about your recovery from your Hernia Surgery and how has your
training changed since then?
[ A ] I recovered pretty well I would say, I stayed out of the gym from
October 4th, 2006 to Feb. 11th, 2007. I had to change my training from going
all out heavy to moderate weight with higher reps and sets. I adjusted
real good and fast to that style of training and looking at my body now, I
think maybe I should've changed it that way couple of years ago. LOL!

[ Q ] What are your reasons for choosing to compete in the Colorado Pro Am Classic, since you didn't last year?
[ A ] My goal is to qualify for the 2007 Mr. Olympia which will be my 8th
consecutive year doing the O. I would really like to put my name in the
mix this year by trying to win all 3 shows in May and June, plus the
prize money in Colorado is higher than the other spring shows and I think
that makes it worth dieting for an additional 3 weeks.

[ Q ] How is life living and training in Germany since leaving Thailand?
[ A ] Life couldn't be any better being back in Germany, I had second
thoughts at first, since my daughter was not familiar with the German
language but she's been in Germany school for 2 ½ years now and is already
one of the best students in class. It feels great being back home were I grew up close to my parents, my
brother, my sister, nephews and nieces.
[ Q ] What is your goal this year for competition weight and will that change
after you qualify for the Mr. Olympia?
[ A ] My goal is to be in my absolute best condition and I really don't care
how much I will weigh when I step on stage. If I would have to guess then
I would say anywhere from 245-253lbs instead of 260-65lbs. If the
judges like the way I look at this weight then I won't change a thing for
the Olympia 2007.

[ Q ] If you can change one thing about this sport, what would it be?

at least be able to support his family.
