Q.1 Why did you start training and did you have any goals of competing to begin with?

After many years of studying and trying to find the one thing to do in life, my professional life was going nowhere and I felt pretty unhappy about it.

I was in my late 20’s and I needed a change, I needed a goal and new challenge.

That time I’ve came across Muscle & Fitness Magazine. I remember reading an article about Monica Brant and being mesmerized by her great physique.

First thought came to my mind was: I want to look like her and compete!!

There was only one way to do it. Next day I’ve signed up to a local gym where I started training towards my first figure competition

Q.2 What is your current training schedule like? How does it differ between pre-contest and off season? Do you do much cardio work?

Offseason I train 3 times a week. For a cardio I do lots of walking, cycling, or running.

On season I’d add one more day of training with weights and more cardio.

Q.3 How long have you been competing?

I’ve started competing in 2010

Q.4 What are your main competitive achievements?

I’ve decided to take a year off from competing. I want to bring a totally different package next year and blow judges away in 2013!
