Bodybuilding is not just training, nutrition, cycles and posing.

Bodybuilding is not just training, nutrition, cycles and posing. It’s an art/science mixed up with a very specific lifestyle 24/7. My training psychology is definitely focused on longer sets and more volume within a set not in total sets performed. Its typically know by my clients as “smash muscle”. Am also of the mind set that when you doing a movement we must use a group of muscles to achieve a complete and symmetrical physique. There is no such thing as isolation movements my training system is designed to target and hit the whole body like a complete machine working as one unit. Yes to address lagging areas within each persons different genetic structure I apply a system of “layers training” over the “smash.” That’s only included once you have done the “smash” successfully which gives you size and density.

My secrets to obtaining and maintaining my hard, grainy and dense muscle is a result of several rituals I like to practice. One of them is to train flat. When the pump has gone from the muscle, many people stop. I train through it and past it. Some say well that’s over training and I say there is no such thing as over training only under eating, under sleeping or under juicing. I don’t allow my bodyweight to balloon up in the off season because I don’t want to overstretch my skin and lose its elasticity. So when I eat up slightly the already tight skin explodes with the muscle under the skin when I feed it certain foods in those last few days before the contest day.\

I also diet over an extended amount of time, maybe 6-to-8 months so I can remove all of my subcutaneous fat and intra muscular fat, and this leaves nowhere for water to hide. Last, I keep it simple. I eat the same foods every day of the year. You will see me even eat the same foods the day before a show. Nothing changes. It’s the same day in, day out. For water manipulation I introduce a very effective/ complicated and technical protocol that works for everyone.
