INTERVIEW WITH ANDREW OYE

Which show did you last compete in?
MASTERS NATIONALS 07' SUPERHVY CHAMPION AND OVERALL WINNER-EARNED PRO STATUS!

The Europa will be your pro debut, correct? How do you feel about that?
I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE!
THIS HAS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE SINCE A BOY - AND I'M SO GRATEFUL TO MY WIFE MICHELLE AND FAMILY FOR ALLOWING ME TO CHASE IT!

WE'RE GONNA' HAVE FUN NO MATTER WHAT!
HECK I GET TO TRAVEL-TAKE MY SHIRT OFF AND HAM IT UP- AND EAT SOME POP TARTS!
PLUS CHASE MICHELLE AROUND AND TRY TO GET SOME KISSES AFTERWARDS!

I DON'T WANNA KNOW IF IT GETS ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

What training and/or nutritional strategies did you employ to get ready?


OLD FASHION HARD WORK AND LOTS OF TURKEY AND FISH!


WE TRAINED HEAVY EARLY IN THE YEAR BUT I KEPT MY DIET CLEAN FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS TRYING TO NOT ADD ANY BODY FAT-THEN WE TIGHTENED OF THE INTENSITY AND DROPPED THE TIME ACTUALLY LIFTING WITH CARDIO EVERY OTHER DAY - (APPROX. 45MIN.)


I STOPPED DOING SO MUCH CARDIO FOR THIS SHOW AND TRIED TO CONCENTRATE ON ACTUAL LIFTING AND DIET MORE AND I THINK IT'S BEEN EASIER AND I'VE GOTTEN GOOD RESULTS...

Predictions? Anyone you see as stiff competition?


YA KNOW ATHLETICS IS FUNNY THING- OFTEN THE BEST ATHLETE/PHYSIQUE DOESN'T WIN, BECAUSE OF OTHER STRESSORS AND LIFE COMMITMENTS,
SO IT'S HARD FOR ME TO PREDICT- HOWEVER I'M SURE IF OMAR DECKARD, TONY FREEMAN, AND DENNIS JAMES COME INTO SHOW DICED THEY ALL HAVE A
CHANCE FOR TOP BILLING- IT'LL ALSO BE COOL TO SEE FLAVIO COMPETE TOO!

How did your last two guest posing appearances go? You incorporated the kids in one of them, right?


VERY EXCITING! HAVING MY CHILDREN WITH ME ON STAGE IS REALLY MORE FUN AND REWARDING FOR ME THAN WINNING AT MY STAGE OF LIFE- I MUST HAVE TO MUCH ESTROGEN IN ME - I'VE BECOME SO MUCH MORE RELAXED AND CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH MY FAMILY
AND OUR EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN CRUSHING COMPETITORS ON THE ATHLETIC FIELD AND STAGE.


WE DANCE AND FLEX AND LAUGH A LOT ON STAGE! THE FAMILIES IN CROWD SEEM TO LOVES IT! BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE SOME YOUNG MUSCLE HEADS WHO SCRATCH THEIR HEADS!?

Any news on current sponsors?


RIGHT NOW NO MAJOR SPONSORSHIP- BUT HOPEFULLY GRECIAN FORMULA WILL PICK ME UP SOON!


I DO HAVE A MINOR SPONSORSHIP WITH SUPREME PROTEIN BARS AND HOPE TO CONTINUE THEIR FRIENDSHIP!

After the Europa, what's next for you?


ON TO THE ATLANTIC CITY PRO OPEN AND MASTERS SHOWS! THEN TO THE OLYMPIA FOR THE EXPO AND MORE FOOD AND VEGAS FUN! HE HEEEEEEEE!

Any updates regarding your efforts to break into Hollywood?


WE ARE CONTINUING TO TRY BREAK INTO THE HOLLYWOOD SCENE BUT IT'S ROUGH IN COLORADO TO GET THE WORD OUT.
MY DVD TRAINING VIDEO WILL OUT IN OCTOBER AND IT WILL BE A COMBINATION OF TRAINING AND DIET INFO AND BIO OF MY DAYS TRAINING, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES A LOT OF SILLY DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES THAT I JUGGLE AS I'M TRYING TO GET MY WORKOUTS IN! IT'S CALLED: 'I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE!' ANDY HAMAN IFBB PRO ATHLETE / REALLY PRO DADDY!

Give me a quote...Current weight? How are you feeling?


'ALWAYS BE KIND AND GENTLE' MY DAD WAS THAT WAY WITH US ALL AND ALL WHO SURROUNDED HIM AND HE WAS THE MOST LOVED MAN I'VE KNOW- 265LBS OF PURE PROTEIN AND HAIR GEL! I FEEL GOOD-I FEEL LEAN- I FEEL LIKE THIS IS ALL STILL DREAM!

Tell me anything else you might want included or want people to know.


PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT( AND MOST IN THE BODYBUILDING CIRCLE KNOW THIS ABOUT OTHER BODYBUILDERS) THAT I AM A CARING MAN WHO WANTS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES- TO BE HAPPY, TO HAVE A HEALTH FAMILY AND TO LIVE AND PLAY FOR TOMORROW!


I'M NOT A CRAZED MUSCLE HEAD WHO WANTS TROUBLE AND PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE- I DON'T WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL INTIMIDATED BY ME, I WANT TO MAKE THEM FEEL GLAD THEY SPOKE TO ME...
