Training since: Summer of 1979 in the back yards of Los Angeles, no gym.

How training began: In the summer of 1979 I saw my cousins Tony, & Tommy, sporting the biggest 16 inch arms I'd ever seen! I asked them to show me how to make my arms like theirs, so they took me to the back yard of our neighbor Micheal's house, where they showed me how to curl and bench press and I was on my way...

Hobbies: Going to the gym with my wife Karen (so she can kick the crap out of me during training) & going to the movies spending time with my family.

Goals: To live life happily and successful, as a entrepreneur business man.

Weak points: They will not exist. I've taken the time to listen to "everyone" even the people who have never competed and I've already began new construction on my entire lower body. I'm very blessed on my body what ever I've trained has always responded in record time.

Program: I train on a 5 day rotation, for example it takes me 5 days to train my entire body on day 6 I either take that day off or begin my 5 day training cycle again it all depends on my energy levels if I'm feeling good I might not take a day off until 10 or 11 days down the road, you have to remember this sport is from the HEART not from the books.

Heaviest lifts:
