What would you be doing if you weren't a Bodybuilder?

One day opening up a gym and promoting bodybuilding competitions to help keep the natural bodybuilding circuit thriving.

What you like most about Bodybuilding

Maximizing your full potential by constantly making improvements to your physique.

What you dislike most about Bodybuilding

The fact that natural bodybuilding is not a highly respected sport, and the egos that many bodybuilders have in which they think they are owed something, instead of working hard for which they feel they deserve.

What advice would you give other bodybuilders?

What you put into the sport is what you get out.

A little more about you...

I base my judgments of people on the content of their character, rather than their appearance.
