Overview (A Little About Me)

I currently own and operate the new NRG Personal Training Studio in Ashmore on the Gold Coast. I am also training full time in boxing at the moment and hope to create an impressive career in the sport.

Nutrition (Examples of My Diet)

I adhered to a strict diet of mostly protein with very little carbs throughout the twelve weeks except of course on my cheat days which were awesome!!

On those days I would allow myself one item from my 'bad' food list, most of the time it was a zinger works burger or a sub with mayo!!

I follow a pretty strict diet year round although not as strict as in bodybuilding. I am able to consume more carbs due to the fact that I am performing so much cardio everyday as part of my intense boxing max sessions that I attend under the tutelage of Brett Pescud, a leading boxing trainer in Australia.

I try to have at least 6 meals a day with at least 40-60 gm Protein. I don't monitor carbs or fats in the off season but do get stricter closer to a fight if I am trying to make a certain weight.

I maintain body fat levels from around 9-12%. My favourite foods are anything from the chicken family, especially nandos chicken wraps!!
