This is a good question, of course I played sports so I had to be fit to play my role in the game. I do admit I was a fatty little thing. I had a little belly and huge thighs. My nickname was thunder thighs. Once in a while I lifted weights but I didn't know nothing about how to lift a weight or exercise with weight training. My whole life did a 360 when I was 20 yrs old. I really wasn't a fan of muscles and bodybuilding. I thought it was silly. I wanted to give bodybuilding a try as I believe you have to try everything once in life. At that point I wanted to do something that I never done before. I ran into an old friend that was a bodybuilder. I told her I wanted to compete in a show. I had no idea the lifestyle change I was getting into. Nor did I know it was going to forever change my life. I strongly believe that anyone can achieve anything thier hearts desire. You just have to believe in yourself and in your dreams. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Some people say I can't do it or I could never achieve my goals. Never say never or you can't do something. Of course you can. I don't just mean bodybuilding, I mean everything and anything in life. Trust me, I know this from experience. I didn't have an easy life growing up, I had to keep my chin up and keep moving forward. I admit, bodybuilding is one of the toughest sports. You have to mentally focused and be very discipline. I believe that to be successful in bodybuilding you have to do a couple of things

What did I do before body building? I played a lot of sports in high school. My favorite was soccer. I played Soccer for nine years competitive. I loved the sport. I played center defense. Awesome position. I loved getting dirty and slide tackling. But I had to stop for a while because I tore a ligament in my knee. I was going to have surgery. To be honest I chickened out. The sports doctor was going to put screws in my knee or someone else's ligament. Just talking about it gives me the chills.The other sports I played was softball,wrestling, volleyball, and track.	A typical day in my life during precontest time! I get up at 4:00am do cardio, eat, work, relax, pose, sleep. Training routine -1 body part a day Quads Hams Shoulders Back Chest Triceps Bi Calves, Abs every other day How often do I train? I train 5 days a week What is the difference from training in off season and training for a contest? Off season- putting on some size, bringing up weak body parts, diet is more flexible Pre contest- strict diet, training for separation and definition, maintaining size, cardio
