I enjoy going to the gym and getting on stage. Competing keeps me motivated to go work out even when I am tired. I want to feel like I accomplished something in my training and contests let me show it off.
My brother Max inspired me a lot. Watching my brother compete made me want to give this a try. I would also like to be featured in a magazine.
I did the model search at the Mr. Olympia in Vegas, an OCB show, WNBF Body Best, Fitness Atlantic and I’m planning to do Fitness Atlantic again.
Sometimes I train with my brother since he helps me a lot but I workout on my own mostly. My brother is the one that got me started and he is my motivation.
My brother and I go to the gym together and we compete in many of the same shows so we help each other to get better. We go to East Shore Athletic Club and it is convenient since it is only 15 minutes from where we live.
I use only a good multivitamin. I cannot have any protein powder as it makes me feel sick and I also have asthma and I’m afraid to take any supplements that may affect my health.
I feel much better now that I started doing cardio every day even though I did loose a little weight. Fitness makes me feel in daily life and I eat better and have more energy. It makes me more outgoing, more approachable and more talkative.
I wish I could keep up with a diet but with my daily activities sometimes I forget to eat. My favorite cheat meal is pizza on Sundays.
I go to the gym three times each week and do two-body parts and a half hour cardio. I don’t like to do heavy weights I like more reps as high as 20 each set.
My goal is me become a well=known eyewear designer and have a line throughout the world. I am a optician and a frame designer and I have my own line of eyewear called “sauvage eyewear” www.sauvageeyewear.com I enjoy designing eyewear it is my passion. I also like to ride motorcycles on my free time I am currently a general manager for an optical company.
I used to box for fun but know I just don’t have time for lifting and boxing so I stick with weight lifting. I never have excuses not to exercise and now I work long hours and have more responsibilities at work. After a long day of work I also spend time designing eyewear then going to the gym can be a stress reliever.
My favorite book is “Who got my cheese” it is about what some body needs in life and how you got to pursue it, it is a very good book. I love trance and reggae music and my favorite TV show is Project Runway. My favorite movie is Training Day as it shows you how to value life and live a happy and stress free life because any day could be your last. I like Victor Martinez and Nassar because I met both of them and they both had great sense of humor and fun people to be around but my idol is Max Nicolas Jr my favorite athlete!
