Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

What fuels my passion for health and fitness,I’d say not just the improvements it comes with physically but also mentally. In that days I wasn’t so happy or I I was. The gym was a place I could just be. Be free to escape and focus on myself. Build myself when I was at my worst or at least felt like it.Whenever I would work out I had a sense of clarity. I learned discipline. Learned to deal with difficult stuff whether in the gym or in real life. And for that I thank God.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

My favorite way to train is till failure. First warm up the muscles then do weight not to light but not to heavy. I’d describe the weight I do is heavy enough to push yourself to failure but at the same time not causing injury but that pumping burning sensation you get from lifting. When I describe to,my favorite way to train is dropping the weight from 10-15 pounds. Essentially drop setting for the maximum pump until failure.

What would you do with $20,000?

What I would do if I won is marry my gf of 7 months who is in Brazil. Then after marrying her. I would love to if God allowed open a gym. But not just any gym it would be a gym where realistic achievable physiques are promoted with transparency and honesty. Create a healthy environment pushing others to be healthy and discipline without all the unrealistic deceptive misleading lies most of the time being popular in the gym culture. Essentially bringing back originality,hard work and dedication.
