Where do you think the body- building/physique competitive world will go in future? I really don’t know where it will go. But one thing’s for sure, it’s growing which means exposure. The more exposure the bodybuilding/fitness world gets, the better! How do you see yourself career wise in 5 years (competitively)? As a top Olympia competitor of course! This is what we all want ultimately, isn’t it? I’m very deter- mined. I believe in my abilities and that strength of mind will get me there.

I don’t have any tricks or tips other than, dig deep. Anyone you’ve ever looked up to has gone through what you’ve gone through to get where they are. It’s all about never giving in to weakness and consistently pushing. FLEX knows that you had some hard times whilst trying to stay focused for competing. How have you dealt with that? In certain situations, you find that some of the most negative people around you are the ones closest to you. This can sometimes be because they are scared for you. To be the best version of you, you need to stay positive and believe in yourself. So, when you decide to chase your dream, be prepared to let go of the negative influences in your life. This is how I overcome anything. What wise words do you have for the FLEX reader? Too many people now start their fitness journey for the wrong reasons. Do it for you, and do it with passion. If you love what you do, you will do well at it. Insta: @romanelanceford Web: www.romane-lanceford.com
