Time out

Interests and hobbies outside health and fitness:
As mentioned I m massively into extreme sports going away snowboarding with the guys is amazing, I m into sports bikes and hope to do a track day next year, bit of a speed freak lol ! , spending time with friends is the best though I just have to make people laugh !  oh I would also be out clubbing more but there’s not much happening lately as I m hugely into the trance scene, music rules my life.

Person who lives for everyday and makes each year better than the last !

Weaknesses:
seriously lack common sense and the fact I cant take anything seriously ! work sometimes maybe J. 

Favourite way to relax:
sauna/steam room followed by a back massage  or  having a nice meal cooked for me and being fed till I cant move, then watch a good dvd with bottle of wine.

Favourite band/music:
too many, bands – stuff like Blink 182, +44, Fall out boy, snow patrol, 30 secs to mars, Linkin park, REM, Trance Music – loads DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Oakenfold and many others I also like old stuff to MJ, Tina, Prince, Queen etc

Favourite Cheat food:
LOL wouldn’t even know where to start depends on my mood at the time ! cant beat egg and chips though !  - Pizza Hut rocks on par with Nandos , love Italians and Tapas with few Coronas if I m out, seafood/sushi too.  Cheese cake/choc cake with ice cream J, love buns, scones, fairy cakes and sweets like mars bars to. Hate olives though what are they about !  

The PhD experience

Favourite PhD Nutrition product:
has to be anything with Choc cookies flavour!

Why you chose PhD Nutrition to officially endorse:
everyone involved with the brand makes up one of the best bunches of people I ve ever known, being involved with the company enhances my life and the support I receive is truly amazing, I owe so much to so many people.  Also they keep putting me in magazines like FHM, Men’s Fitness, Front, Loaded etc all the time its awesome still don’t believe its me!   

Why do you and PhD complement each other?
PhD is about lifestyle and encourages an individual to achieve the best for themselves – I feel like I represent what can be done with hard work and aim to inspire others in life who take an interest.  The company lets me be who I want to be and takes snapshots of the journey I m going through, who knows where things will end up in a few years time.      

Personal ambitions

Future aims and objectives within your chosen sport:
Not really sure what to put here, I do want to do another bodybuilding competition some day.  I don’t want to win anything through it, I couldn’t live that lifestyle required to do so but will be on stage for different reasons anyway, reaching my best maybe another 5 years.     

Snowboarding – its Europe next year hope to get away twice if possible, then we’re planning Mammoth Mountain , California for the year after ! the big one though is a few years away I aim to get good enough to go Heli boarding in Alaska 3-5 yrs time.

Sky diving – that’s next year in Arizona , Texas for my 30th 2 weeks of jumping 3 times a day I cant wait !

Supersport bikes – enjoy trips away, there’s talk of France next year and the Alps lol, track day if I can manage it too !

Future life ambitions:
Married, kids, happy, jobs a good one ;) !
