1. What two words best describe your build/physique/figure? Why?: Proportional and symmetrical, because I work each body part just as hard as another, and I feel that I do not have any body part standing out above any other.
2. What part of your body deserves to be honored in the “Physique Hall of Fame?” Why?: I would have to say my shoulders. Everyone always compliments me on them.
3. When did you first realize your body was sexy, appealing or exemplary?: LOL. I guess my senior year in high school when I was in the running for “Best Body.” And then, of course, when I’m out on the weekends and people I don’t even know come up to me just to tell me I have a really nice body.
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?: The first thing that goes through my mind is, “I’m gonna hurt myself really bad tonight in a good way.” The last thing after the workout is always, “Mission accomplished! Train to gain!”
5. Who is your physique/fitness idol or role model, and what body part would you steal from that person for a day?: By far, my idol is Dorian Yates. I would definitely love to have a back like his for a day.
6. Who or what inspires you to accept the daily challenge of building your physique/figure?: My greatest inspiration is looking in the mirror every day and always seeing improvement. It’s my passion. I need a lot more improvement, but at least I’m headed in the right direction. Bodybuilding keeps me focused on something and helps me to stay out of trouble.
7. If someone wrote a book or song about your body, what would it be called?: “All The Best Shit Comes From Germany”
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?: Definitely, filet minion with mashed potatoes.
9. What would a talking mirror say about your body if you stood naked in front of it?: LOL. Like I said before…I’m very proportional.
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?”: That’s a difficult question, but I would have to say that I love to travel. I usually resist going on a lot of vacations, because I’m always worried about how much weight I might lose. So, if I were not working out, then I would be traveling the world eating whatever I want all day.
