Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

After spending my youth extremely unhealthy and experiencing the changes I went through and the improvement to my quality of life, I've never wanted to go back to that. I also love the challenge and constantly breaking through mental barriers. Its taught me a lot about will power and its helped me build discipline that carries over to everything in life. I love fitness and I hope I can inspire other people who started in a similar situation to my own to become the best version of themselves.

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

When I was younger I loved power lifting, but after several back injuriesI've shifted to a lower volume approach. I follow a lot of the principles taught by Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates. I train to failure or near failure on every set, and I structure my program in a way that lets me consistently progressive overload my workouts. If progression stalls I add in more rest or cut back additional volume. The goal is to always beat the previous workout.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it for a down payment on my first home. Im a father and husband and with as precarious as the economy has been this money would be extremely helpful to my wife and I.
