How long have your been competing?:  10 years. I started weight training in 1995 and did my first competition in 1997.

What got you started in bodybuilding in the first place and did you have any aspirations of competing early on in your training?: Bodybuilding was not on the cards straight off, I was more concerned with just trying to put some weight on and get some shape about me as I was very skinny. By the second year someone said “Why don’t you give competing a go, you’re showing some real good symmetry”. In 1997 I entered my first competition, it was only a 3rd place but I had a ball. After this I was definately hooked.

Loads of cardio


Body part most liked to train:  Triceps and back

What's been your secret to making continual improvements to your physique over the years?:  Don't over train, let the body recover. Eat regularly. Being consistant and sticking to the basics, once you start to complicate things it tends to get all out of whack.


Favorite off season food:  That would have to be a nice juicey steak with Diane sauce, finished off with cheese cake.

Favorite pre contest food:  Gourmet Pizza and Cheese Cake

How much importance, if any, have nutrition and supplementation contributed to your success?:  A big influence. You wouldn't run a performance car on plain unleaded, so you have to feed your body optimum fuel food and ensure all bases are covered with supplementation.

What are your main supplements off-season and pre-contest?:  Vitamins and minerals A-Z, Glutamine, Creatine.


Favorite bodybuilder:  Ronny Rockel

Favorite bodybuilding magazine:  Hardcore Aussie Muscle of course

Greatest moment in bodybuilding:  Just getting up and competing in a bodybuilding competition is a great moment as anyone who has competed will tell you. To date winning the IFBB Australian Nationals in 2004 is pretty big, but I am sure that there are more great moments ahead for me. My move from IFBB Phsique to NABBA Figure Class1 has been a great challenge and one that I intend to keep working on.

What's your motivation to keep training and competing?:   With each competition comes new goals and challengers to improve on the last. Each year as the body changes, as you become another year older, your approach to training and preparing for competition changes.

Has bodybuilding always been your main sporting interest?:   No. As a kid I was into athletics and gymnastics, but broke down in my early teens with joint problems. Weight training and competing in bodybuilding competitions has helped me alot.

Do you have any interests outside of the gym?:    There's life outside of the gym? Just kidding. Work commitments being mainly of a night unfortunately doesn't lend much time for any socialising. Basically I just work and train, boring to some as that may seem. In my spare time I like to play around with music on the computer and have been cutting music for competitors posing routines which has been alot of fun and looking to do more of it.


When competing at the level you do, you no doubt benefit from the help and support of others. Is there anyone you would particularly like to extend your thanks to?:

Oh for sure! I'd like to extend a huge thankyou Di Shipway {figuregirl.com} and Glen Purtell {Making Shapes} for all their time, advice and patients. To Paul and Janet Hadjion who I'm currently boarding with for their support and putting up with me during my comp preps.
