Where are you from?
California
How long have you been doing this?
36 years
What inspired you to go into bodybuilding?
My brothers and sisters all did it and my dad was a bodybuilder. I started competing at 13 and won Mr. Universe when I was 20.
Is your dad famous?
No, but I became famous for the family, so it worked out alright. [Smiles]
What are some challenges you face? Do you ever get burnt out?
No, I’m not that guy. It’s such a deep passion for me that I work out at 4 a.m. and have for 30 years. I’m that guy that annoys people. I don’t quit.
What does your workout routine look like?
It’s a simplified routine with basic compound movement with a couple of secondaries. That’s it, I’ve done it for 30 years, and I don’t change it up.
And your diet?
It’s clean year-round. My girl (Mona) keeps me on it.
