I normally work out 6 days per week. I focus on
one body part per day & then do 1 or 2 exercises for a secondary body
part. Since I have a power lifting background I like to go heavy on my
squats, bench press & dead lifts during the off season. Here's my
current split.
Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Chest & 2 exercise for Triceps
Wed - Back & 2 exercises for Biceps
Thur- Legs & Shoulders
Friday - Biceps & 2 exercises for Back
Saturday - Triceps & 2 exercises for Chest
Sunday - Rest
I do abs 2 to 3 times per week along with cardio.
I'm also doing 100 to 200 calf raises every other day b/c my calves are
my weak point. I've been seeing pretty decent gains from this workout &
will stick with it for another few months. |

My advice to aspiring athletes is to learn proper
form first. I think correct form is much more important than how much
you can lift. Once you begin using correct form your strength will
increase. I also think to many of the young athletes are getting caught
up with all the supplement advertisements. These companies are paying
athletes to promote their products & say they use them. Don't expect to
look like Ronnie Coleman
or Jay Cutler after taking the products they advertise. As a natural
athlete I find it important not to get caught up in all the different
supplements out there. I think protein, creatine & multi-vitamin is
enough to build a great physique.

Update:
Past - I
began working out January 2000. At that time I didn't imagine I would
grow to love the sports of bodybuilding & power lifting so
much. Initially my goals were simply to get bigger arms and chest. I
started out by purchasing a 35.lb dumbbell and some push-up bars. Every
night at 7PM I would perform as many dumbbell curls as I could, sets of
push-ups & sit-ups. I could only curl the 35.lb dumbbell 3 or 4 times so
I was a little discourage & regretted the decision of not choosing a
lighter weight. Over the next month my repetitions with the 35.lb
dumbbell increased. Friends and co-workers began noticing changes on my
133.lb frame. My co-worker/friend James Carder convinced me to start
going to the gym. When I began working out with James we worked out 5
days per week, targeting one body part per day. This concept was new to
me and very painful. I was only accustomed to working chest & arms. So
the first time we did legs I told myself my gym days were over. It was
back to video games for me. However James convinced me that I wouldn't
always be that sore & I should stick with the routine. |

Present - Currently I'm
serving in the United States Air Force stationed at Lajes Field, Azores,
Portugal. Recently I earned my WNBF Pro Card by winning the light weight
& overall class as the 2009 U.S Forces-Europe Bodybuilding & Figure
Championship in Wiesbaden, Germany. It's a tremendous feeling to finally
accomplish this goal. My current split is:
Day 1 - Legs
Day 2 - Chest & 2 exercises for Triceps
Day 3 - Back & 2 exercises for Biceps
Day 4 - Shoulders
Day 5 - Biceps & Triceps
Day 6 - Heavy Squats, Bench Press & Deadlifts
Day 7 - REST
I mix
abdominals and calves in several days a week. I'm also doing cardio 2 to
3 times per week. This will increase as the contest approaches. |

Future - In the near future I'll begin studying for a personal trainer
certification so I can help others achieve their goals. I feel I can be
a positive influence on others and I want to make sure I'm knowledgably
to help with their fitness goals. I'm also working with my Top of The
Rock Bodybuilding teammates to help them prepare for upcoming shows.
