How do you structure your training week?
Push, pull and legs twice each, with Sunday fully off. I don’t chase high frequency. Recovery matters as much as training.
There are so many shows. How do you choose?
I only prepare seriously for two shows a year. At the others I work backstage for my clients. Watching other people compete teaches me a lot.
Muscle grows in years, not weeks.
Do you connect with athletes in other cities?
I’ve met a few athletes from Shanghai on Instagram, and they train very differently. If I get the chance, I’d love to compete there.
What would you tell your younger self?
Slow down. Muscle grows in years, not weeks.
