I
STARTED TRAINING OVER
30 years ago with the
direction to enhance my
karate. I was fighting
internationally and needed
to be bigger and stronger to
be competitive with the more
advanced athletes from the
other countries.
This is where I first fell in love
with the gym. After many years of
training I felt physically and mentally
strong enough to turn my focus
towards competitive bodybuilding.
I decided to compete after
researching and structuring a
tailored diet that would suit my
physique.
Eventually I won 3 Welsh titles,
placing in the top 6 at the EFBB
British Finals and on a number of
occasions as a heavyweight
bodybuilder.
This lead to me having the
privilege of judging throughout the
UK and all over the world at many
top events such as Arnold Classics,
World Championships and Amateur
Olympias.
My profession is coaching which
leads me to be in the gym for 12
hours a day, and always being at
hand for the athletes being prepared
for their shows or photo shoots.
I conduct around 60-80 sessions
per week, along with looking after
around 70 online clients. My clients
are mainly competitors which range
from bikini models right through to
