As a lifelong natural athlete, you’ve built a tremendous physique within a sport where performance and physique-enhancing drugs are prevalent. Why did you remain a natural athlete and do you see yourself and the sport of natural body building as a role model/lifestyle model for young aspiring athletes:
Well it had something to do with a guy called Jason Rickaby whose advice I stuck with way back when I first started training, he’s kept me on the straight and narrow ever since.
I have this vision that one day I will reach a level on stage during my posing routine where my physique is at its best and I m in a world of my own and feel my journey is over, to me reaching that moment is the hardest thing for any bodybuilder, never mind all this rubbish about condition.
To me also I live for being involved with great things and great people, there are some diamonds in the natural scene, Fivos, Peter Chown, Dean Garratt, Ian Stocks, Ben France, although there are some idiots too, its amazing to be doing the same sport as these guys yet when you see them are more interested in you than themselves. Every now and then the sport reminds you why you stayed natural, this year it was when Ian Stocks cried winning the NPA lightweight title I was so happy for one of my mates.
For any young athletes reading you only need to spend a short time around some of these guys to realise you can get where you want to be and to feel overwhelmingly inspired, it’s done wonders for my life, let it do the same to yours.
Why you chose PhD Nutrition to officially endorse:
Knowing the professional set up and no nonsense approach to the industry I know I could not be in better hands, the future is bright, the future is PhD!
Future aims and objectives within your chosen sport:
As above but would like to compete at the worlds maybe.
Thanks very much Robb, anyone you’d like to thank for their help and guidance throughout the years, please do so:
I love my family as much as the next man maybe more, most is owed to them I've just had to do the easy stuff.
There is also a guy called Jason Rickaby who has helped and guided me in natural bodybuilding. When I started training we met and from then on it’s been magic ever since, his door is always open and his motivation drives me every day. He is and will always be a great friend.
Day 1 – chest, arms.
Day 2 – legs.
Day 3 – back, delts.
Day 4 – rest
Pharma-Gain™: My metabolism is like lightening, I find it hard to gain weight and hard to maintain weight with my training style. I use 2 servings of Pharma-Gain™ daily, this gives me 80 grams of carbs and 80 grams of quality blended protein on top of my meals
Formula-X™: Best thing I’ve used for mass-gaining. I use all 3 caps 30 mins prior to training, along with:
Wired™: This product kicks arse. I use the Wired™ before every leg and back session…My squat has gone ballistic since, I’m shifting 4 plates for singles now at a body weight of 150lbs
Battery +/-3: I’m a big carb-drinker. Battery+/-3 supplies me with electrolytes also, which are vital for me and in my job as a firefighter, you can imagine I sweat quite a bit! I use 3 scoops after every session and sometimes more during the day or before heading out on a job
