ON WEIGHT TRAINING:

My philosophy on weight training is keeping a balance in life, meaning don't be obsessed with the fact about becoming a body builder.

Weight training gives me the balance in life that I need. It gives me a great outlook on life and keeps me motivated and hungry to make a difference in the world. I love to train, I use training as my drug if I may say, because I have never smoked or tasted a drink.

Weight training helps me stay focused on my goals in life. I feel that wieght training should be a very important part of one's life for a long and healthy living mentally and physically.

Right things right the first time, meaning knowing HOW to train because it will save you from getting injured. You need to know how to use the gym properly. When I get to the gym I take 10 min. to get focused on the body part that I am training. Right before I get started I get in the zone that I am the best, that I love myself.

When I feel the burn I run to the burn, meaning when I feel the pain I push harder, I do a minimum of 5 more reps because when I feel the pain I know that's when I am making the most gains. That is why I love the pain. To me pain is weakness leaving the body and that means every time I push through the pain I am getting bigger and stronger. I f I feel any other pain than muscle fatigue pain I will stop immediately and call it a day. My goal is the most results without injury.

Most of all - when I complete my workout I know I will feel great.

Weight training is not just about muscles to me, it is about being the best person that I could possibly be as well as making a difference in other people's lives, meaning that if you stay persistent with your goals and dreams all of them will come true.

That is the reason I will get my ProCard, because I will never give up!

I found my passion and I followed my heart so never give up on what you truly believe in whatever it is- cause I will not. Never quit, never be a quitter, you may not be able to do it today, you may not be able to lift 500 pounds today but one day you will, always keep striving towards your goals.
