1. What two words best describe your build/physique/figure? Why?: Eye Candy. With a well-balanced physique, you can turn heads anywhere. Even the ones who think it’s “too much” can't help but keep looking.
2. What part of your body deserves to be honored in the “Physique Hall of Fame?” Why?: My legs
3. When did you first realize your body was sexy, appealing or exemplary?: Once I really understood what bodybuilding was. It’s all about symmetry.
4. In the quiet moment before you begin a workout, what’s the first thing that goes through your mind? And what is the last thing that goes through your mind as you conclude a workout?: Before: “Train for symmetry, not the ego.” After: “Did I get a good pump?”
5. Who is your physique/fitness idol or role model, and what body part would you steal from that person for a day?: I model my physique after Lee Labrada, but I would take Dexter Jackson’s body any day. Is that guy perfect or what?
6. Who or what inspires you to accept the daily challenge of building your physique/figure?: My culture. Being Mexican, some people just assume I should be fat. Since I am not, many people do not ever believe me when I tell them I am Mexican.
7. If someone wrote a book or song about your body, what would it be called?: “Can't Take My Eyes of That”
8. Your name appears as an option on a restaurant menu, and you order the dish/beverage. What food/drink does the waiter deliver to your table?: Egg white omelet with chicken, no cheese, with tomato slices, a side of red Chile and a small bowl of oats. This one was easy as Wecks restaurant already knows what I eat, we call it the RocBodyMeal!!!
9. What would a talking mirror say about your body if you stood naked in front of it?: “You can still make your waist smaller and your shoulders bigger, with a wider back.”
10. If you received the ultimatum: workout or die— but your other favorite thing was simply too hard to resist— what is that one other thing you love (besides loved ones, family, friends, etc.) so much that you would actually choose it over your “final workout?”: Easy…sex. A healthy sex drive helps keep me lean, my hormones balanced, and it’s great stress relief. Otherwise, a good meal…I am always ready to eat.
