Why I Got Started

I wanted to challenge myself to see if I had what it took to compete in figure with the INBF. I wanted to be a positive role model for my 2 young sons and the students I teach.

How I Did It

I got serious about my goals and took control of my bad habits. I ate 5 small meals a day, went to the gym 4 to 5 days a week, did a ton of cardio and lifted weights. It took a lot of focus and discipline!

Supplements

* Multivitamin

* Amino Acids

* Glutamine

* Protein Powder

Diet

Meal 1:

o Eggs

o Oats

Meal 2:

o Chicken breast

o Large salad

Meal 3:

o Egg whites

o Almonds

Meal 4: Post-Workout

o Protein shake

Meal 5:

o Fish

o Vegetables

Training

On all exercises for each body part I perform 2 compound movements for 3 to 4 sets with a rep range of 8-10 and 2 to 3 isolation movements.

As my contest grew closer I increased the rep range to 10-15 and decreased rest time between sets from 2 or 3 minutes to 1 minute. I added cardio up to 2 times a day – one AM session one PM session.

Suggestions For Others

Don’t let age be a deciding factor. As long as you are able to get up and go, get up and do it! Set a goal and focus on the prize. Average is no longer an option and age is all but a number! Believe in yourself!
