Memorable Quotes:

“Fitness is a journey and that journey from being a 20 year old construction worker where I could eat where I wanted and do whatever I wanted and I still look good. To an office worker at 40 years old, you can't do the same things you did and expect the same results to happen.”
“I've seen more growth out of this system that doing my ego-lift bro splits”
“The fat that I could not get rid of was because of what I was doing to myself. I was doing too much work with not enough food.”
“The longer you wait, the harder it gets. There's no doubt about that in my mind.”
