At
the age of 13 (on July 14th, 1987), my mom paid for
my 1st membership in a gym. It was called Spa of St-Leonard.
She thought it was a summer fling! That fling has been
lasting for more than 20 years.
I
was always fascinated by superheroes: Superman, Batman,
Spiderman just to name a few and I was and still am
a big wrestling fan too: Hulk Hogan, The Road Warriors,
Superstar Billy Graham and the Ultimate Warrior were
big role models for me. By the age of 12, I saw my
1st bodybuilding show (Mr. Montréal 1986) and
I wanted to look like all these guys on stage. I don't
really have a favorite bodybuilders and mostly in
love with the mid-80's and late-90: Kevin Levrone,
Flex Wheeler, Vince Taylor, and Dexter Jackson. I
especially love Tom Platz (the original Quadrasaurus).
The
most important thing that I learned in this sport
is that you need to be dedicated, patient, have a
lot of heart and have a great support system (friends,
family that encourages you to go beyond your limits.
Bodybuilding has the reputation of being an individual
sport, but you need a great team behind you to be
successful. At the same time, you can't let bodybuilding
rule your life. Don't get me wrong, I love my sport
but like the old saying goes every choice has is consequences.
Training and dieting come easy for me because I always
push myself to be better. If my life would be like
my career in bodybuilding I'd be rich. lol. The hard
thing for me is when I've got no show in sight. I
tend to loose my focus a bit but 8 months before;
the eye of the tiger comes back. My life is structured
and my goal is precise: win, win, and win!
Bodybuilding
has been a lifelong passion and I want to continue
to share my love of the sport with all my supporters,
clients and especially to my son who plays football
now.
