Tell us a little about yourself? I have two beautiful kids and I live in the south of Johannesburg with my girlfriend. I have my own business with a very good friend of mine and I really enjoy what I do. I'm a perfectionist at home, work and in my training.

I thank God for all that I have achieved and for all the things I have yet to conquer. What is your favourite body part to train? Quads Least favourite body part to train? Hamstrings |

Mondays: Chest and biceps Tuesdays: Legs Wednesdays: Shoulders and triceps Thursdays: Back, hamstrings and calves Friday, Saturday and Sunday are rest days in the off-season List 5 hint and tips on basic training principles? Always stretch and warm-up before training Never try exceed a weight that your body cannot handle Have sufficient rest to give your muscles time to recover and grow. Always use the correct range of motion to avoid injury. Always hydrate yourself while training and after. List 5 hint and tips on nutritional principles? Supply your body with high quality protein at the most crucial times of the day to ensure consistent muscle growth. Do not restrict your carb intake, especially after workouts, as they fuel your muscles. If your glycogen levels fall to low the net result will be a loss of muscle. Combine your pre- and post-workout protein with a fast digesting, high glycaemic carb to maximise your insulin levels and double your gains in half the time. |
