How and why did you start training?
I started training because I had stopped dancing and felt a deep need to continue doing physical exercise.
I have always been involved in sports, having practiced swimming, horse riding and dancing.
The gym was an occupation that came to me when I was looking for a new sport. Fortunately, I discovered bodybuilding.
What made you want to compete?
The thirst for more.
I fully support everyone who does what they do simply for the sport of it.
Fortunately, I can't just please myself.
I need and have always needed to show everyone what I fought every day to have, whether in horse riding or even in dancing.
What type of diet do you follow?
I follow a strict diet in the pre-competition period and a softer diet when I am in the off-season, that is, when I don't have any competitions coming up.
I have a food plan for any phase, only varying the quantity and some breaks I can take.
That said, the basis of my diet is as follows:
- White and red meats
- Rice
- Sweet potato
- Eggs
- Oat
- Pasta
- Vegetables (Lots!)
What type of training do you follow?
I train six times a week and divide my workouts into the major muscle groups: back, shoulders, glutes, quadriceps, arms and hamstrings.
The sequence is always alternating between upper and lower, as it should always be, due to the rest time that must be given.
What are your three favorite exercises?
I never chose my three favorite exercises.
However, if I had to choose them off the top of my head, the shoulder press, hip abduction and any unilateral shoulder exercise immediately come to mind.
In superset or drop set, pure love!
Where does your motivation come from?
About me and what I want for the near future and the distant future.
They say the size of the cross is never bigger than what we can carry, and if it is, I pick it up and bend over!
What supplements do you use?
It depends on the stage I'm in, just like everything.
The ones I usually use are:
Goals for the future, what are they?
Like all bodybuilders, my greatest achievement is, without a doubt, stepping onto the Olympia stage in Las Vegas.
However, I still have a long way to go to get there.
For the near future, I just work to keep my sponsorships, continue to compete in all the competitions I can and that are best for my resume, and above all, continue to enjoy it as much as I do now.
Any special tips for those just starting out?
Always believe in who you are and what you will become in two, three, ten years.
We are always capable of everything we really want and we have lots of living examples to believe that. Just love what they do.
Another tip: Don't be in a hurry.
Love the process as if it were the last thing you would do in your life.
