Q1.
Why did you start bodybuilding and did you have any aspirations
to compete?
I
went to a competition in Aberdeen in the late 80's, bought a set
of weights the following week and was hooked.
Q2.
What is your current training schedule like?
Short
and intense, everything thrown in, supersets, drop sets, heavy
and basic. It all depends on the night.
Q3.
What is your training split? What are your thoughts on cardio,
do you feel it's essential all year?
Mon
- Back & shoulders Wed - Legs & calves
Friday - Chest & arms. I don't do cardio in my off-season
as I'm in a manual job and do a lot of walking, cutting grass
etc.
Q4.
How long have you been competing? 10 years
Q5.
What are your main competitive achievements?
I have won about 25 competitions with 7 Scottish class
wins and 2nd in the EFBB Britain Senior class2002.

off-season and 87kg during my last competition.

Why do you feel you have been able to make continuous gains over
the years?
Being
consistent in the gym, with the diet and taking good advice and
finding out what works for you.
Q9.
What supplements do you use?
Extreme
Protein, Glutamine complex and Aminos and also multi vitamins
and minerals and vitamin C.
Q10.
How much do you feel supplements and nutrition help your training?
Supplements
are very important to me. Protein to keep protein levels up,
Glutamine complex to speed up recovery time and Aminos to compete
the amino acid pool. Keep it simple and affordable.
Q11.
What is it that motivates you through a gruelling workout?
1
can of Red Bull and 2 ephedrine!
Q12. Who, if anyone, do you want to thank over the years for
their help?
Dougie
at Extreme for his excellent advice the last couple of years
as I have made great gains and improvements, the lads at Mastrick
Gym in Aberdeen and of course Joyce, for putting up with me
and all that goes along with competing.
