How did you get started with bodybuilding?
I’ve been modelling for a few years, and a part of my job was to stay in shape. I loved it and it led me to became a total gym rat. After months of intense training the abs started to show and I was enjoying the fitness lifestyle.
Suddenly the modeling requests were coming from Fitness Magazines and Supplement companies. A friend of mine told me to compete in the next NPC bikini competition so I gave it a shot. It was such a thrill to step on stage!
Where does your motivation come from?
I would say the mirror. There’s nothing more motivating than when you find a new vein! Am I crazy? Probably, but it’s true! Progress is what motivates me to keep pushing harder and not give up. Also it’s extremely motivating to have so many female fans. I never thought I would get to that point, especially since I’m an ex Playboy Cover Model. But girls! Thanks! I love you! You’re the best!
