Who or what inspired you to get involved in the health and fitness industry?
My friend Ben Abstacker inspired me to do competition.I have been training with Abstacker for two years then went head to head with him in Musclemania® Australia and I placed 2nd which I was overwhelmed with for my first
competition.
Competition Titles/ sporting achievements?
2nd place 2013 Musclemania® Australia/Model Australia
4th place 2013 Musclemania® Australia/Physique Australia
What type of diet do you follow leading into an event?
I like to keep the body guessing at all times that works best for my body and complements my HITT training. Clean foods like sweet potato/ chicken /brown rice /lean mince/lean turkey. I don’t like to use too many supplements I like to
get it all from my foods then use supplements for quick absorbing proteins and carbs etc.
How many days a week do you train and do you prefer weight training over cardio, what works best for you?
Combine both cardio in the mornings and weights at night after I have all my meals in me apart from one which I get one hour after training. I believe both cardio and weights complement each other in order to achieve the right fitness model physique.
How important is it to maintain a balance in life, what’s your success mantra?
Balance is everything for me I like to have enough time to chill watch a few movies and enough time for the gym and time to chill with friends. I feel it’s important to have the right balance so you are completely happy 🙂
How has fitness changed or enhanced your life?
FITNESS has changed my life so much you wouldn’t believe! I used to think I was missing out when everyone was going out getting drunk living for the weekend. Then I realized how happy and fresh I felt 24/7 after getting into the fitness
lifestyle.
