Fitness365 Amsterdam, great training atmosphere. A lot of competitors and people that come to the gym to take care of business. Instead of talking and socializing.

Nutrition, I didn’t know anything about nutrition at the time. I was a very skinny kid. I figured as long as I eat as much as I can I will grow eventually, but not a lot happened.

Q11. What do you think about when you have to dig deep for that last rep?
Often I think of a situation where I wanted to break somebody’s face and since we are not living in the time of gladiators. I just out my frustrations in the gym. It particularly helps during that last rep.
Q12. How far ahead do you plan your nutrition, if at all?
I only plan my nutrition before a contest. The rest of the year I’ll just count my proteins. I can eat quite a lot, because I’m a big dude with high metabolism and because of my genetics my body copes well with carbs.
