When I first began bodybuilding it was easy. I was in high school and in my spare time I was in the gym, cooking, and spending time with friends. It wasn’t hard to buy my own groceries working my part time jobs. It wasn’t fair to my parents to buy as much food as I …
One thing I’ve never gotten away from are bodyweight exercises. No matter how big I’ve gotten or how many lbs I’ve added to my frame, bodyweight exercises have always been a staple. If you weigh 250 lbs and cannot perform a set of pull-ups then your 250 lbs is shit weight. Think about it for …

I’ve celebrated life, I’ve celebrated the holiday. I’m also celebrating the first phase of a huge test I’ve …
OK, so you’re into the weights and you’re trying to grow. You’re not exactly sure what to eat, you’ve never really cooked before. This is all new. I get it. I’ve been there myself. And through the years I have found ways to make things easier. I am going to take you inside my diet …
