Interviews

"I would say I’ve had some very tough periods in my life, but I have gone through them all and I am ready to overcome anything that life throws at me. To me life is like a bench press – if I don’t push the weight, it will fall on me." - Lazar Angelov

"It’s about being better than I was yesterday. Having a vision and not being afraid to take on tasks required to make it a reality." - Rosie Chee

"Make it a lifestyle...Be consistent with your training, diet and sleep because they all play equal parts into the equation" - Mike Raso

EAT!! Eat clean and eat often. Don’t skip your cardio. Get your beauty sleep! - Lais DeLeon

"What I've learned to concentrate on more is my lifts in the gym. If those numbers are going up then I am happy. Watching myself get stronger every month is more motivating than watching the numbers increase on the scale." - Kevin Fabian

"Don't use the crutch "It’s genetics” as it counts for 15% of the equation when it comes to your resting metabolic rate you still have 85 % of the equation which is under your control i.e. training, nutrition supplementation and to some extent environment." - Kelechi Opara

"Getting in shape should be a ride that you get on to learn, take part in and enjoy the journey. It should never be a chore or something that you have to do. If it doesn’t feel this way, stop and try a new route!" - Lyzabeth Lopez

"Make a decision to live a healthy lifestyle. There is no magic pill or fad diet (trust me, I’ve tried many of them.) To look and feel your best you must change your lifestyle! A diet of lean protein, complex carbs, good fats and plenty of vegetables will change your body." - Tarah Andrews

"That last rep is what counts. If that last rep is easy then damn it I’ll do another one. If that one is a little shaky then I might even push it again. I set the rules so I don’t always stay on a certain rep scheme all the time." - Roger Snipes

"After a month of training 6 times a week and eating healthy I felt really good.. I looked way better than I did before." - Margret Gnarr
