My Olympia Experience…the next generation has begun!
To start off I would like to thank all existing and new fans who came out to the Olympia to meet me, take a picture, and congratulate me on turning pro. It was truly an over whelming feeling to hear that I inspire people and people look up to me because I know what its like to have the feeling of looking up to someone and wanting to follow in there foot steps. To know that I inspire younger and bodybuilders of all age to pursue their dreams of getting on stage is something I honored to be able to Read more [...]
Overcoming Challenge
I recently competed at the Olympia and needless to say, the overall outcome was a disappointment for me. I definitely didn’t place the way I had hoped for and was extremely disheartened.

Overall, the Olympia was a great experience. I had the Read more [...]
Final Days to Olympia
Five days until I step onto the Olympia stage!

Being able to use GlycoJect as part of my Evogen supplement stack has taken my workouts to a new level. Being able to get insane pumps with EVP with the post show rebound is one killer combo!

Countdown to Olympia
The two week countdown to Olympia has passed and it’s nearly game time! I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by. These final weeks are crucial and are the most mentally challenging. As a bikini competitor, there’s always the fine line of stepping on stage too conditioned or not conditioned enough. Being either could make you or break your placement on stage.
The struggle I’ve had in the past is overconditioning. I tend to push myself to a point where I begin to break down Read more [...]
Motivation to the Next Level!
As the Mr. Olympia competition nears, there is an excitement and buzz that starts coming up in the sport. You see all the message boards starting to light up and the rumors flying about who looks good and who is going to win as with most big shows; however, the Mr. Olympia is different because its truly the pinnacle of our sport that we so passionate about.
Recently earning my pro card and reaching one of the milestones in my career, I am starting to prepare myself for one day being on the Mr. Read more [...]
