How Did You Get Started?

One bodypart per day.

Offseason: high protein switching between white and red meats with complex carbs. In addition to protein shakes and protein bars, I eat 6 or 8 times a day at least.

For the last 3 years Muscletech worked for me in addition to Mega Glutamine Fuel by Twinlab. But I am always looking for the best research on nutrition to get the best supplements.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
It's a lyifestyle, it is discipline and it is a lot of self power to bodybuild and compete. In addition, I love the changes during the precontest prep and finally the rush of being on stage...it's a thrill worth the effort.
