How did you get started with bodybuilding?

I’ve always loved working out and it has helped me cope with asthma for quite sometime now! I deployed to Afghanistan in OEF 06-07, and started to work out harder during that time and I also won a bench contest aswell. Then I returned to Afghanistan in OEF 08-09 and decided to Push myslef to the next level and see what I was capable of.

Where does your motivation come from?

An inner drive to succeed, thanking the man upstairs. My mom who is my rock she’s the reason I stand as I do today! My Marie Louise, she’s a beautiful woman inside and out and my wifey! My CREW “GET IT IN” awesome to watch them push much respect to all of them! Chad Shaw from Bodyspace, just get to know him and you will understand why he’s listed in the Top 6 Most Inspirational. Motivation also comes from my boy Kenjaun Simon- I think of him as mr Potential but AKA ” Serioussimom”.

What is your training philosophy?

The weight wont pick itself up! Honestly though intensity, volume and explosiveness ensuring I feel each rep along with proper breathing and lifting technique.

Below are some of my workout videos

If you have to pick only 3 exercises, what would they be and why?

Squats, Double Bicep Cable Curls and Hanging Leg Raises

Why, because I use to hate squats but I’m trying to better myslef and starting to like the awesome workout they produce. The double bicep cable curls has always been one of my favorite execrcises and the burn at the peak is awesome, such a great feeling. Lastly, hanging leg raises are intense and explosive  and produce a burn that makes you wanna tap out lol, and they do wonders for your mid section.

When trying to cut down do you prefer to use HIIT or just normal cardio?

If i was to pick one, id choose HIIT, i just feel it burns the fat faster, although i must say HIIT is very intense.
