Hello I’m Your new trainer
My JOURNEY 
My bodybuilding journey started when I was 6 years old. My
mother and I moved to the states from Colombia when I was
four. She met my dad in New Jersey who was an old training
partner and good friend of Dave Palumbo, one of the biggest
fitness gurus in the industry.
My dad had a fully equipped gym in his basement and he was
in need of a training partner so he would bring me down every
day and we would lift together.
It wasn’t until I was 10 years old when nutrition really came into
play. At 10 years old is when I started wrestling. Wrestling has
to be one of the most brutal sports for your body. This sport
alone taught me something valuable in life and that is mental
toughness, overcoming obstacles and if you’re hungry enough
and put in the work you will achieve your goals.
In order for me to perform my very best I had to make sure my
nutrition, physical and mental strength was at my peak. I
ended up undefeated, winning many titles and set records in
wrestling. My wrestling career ended in college with an injury from 5 torn ACL’s. This is when I started focusing more on bodybuilding. I am blessed that I’ve always been surrounded by big named people in the fitness industry who shared their knowledge with me. And over the years of training and surrounding myself with knowledgeable people and doing my own research, I have come up with my own method of training. Work smarter not harder, no more 3 hour gym sessions. My workouts typically last 40 minutes. Implementing different workout techniques such as pause reps, drop sets, partial reps, and fascia training giving people that hard 3D look you are looking for. Nutrition in my opinion is 80% of the equation
If you’re not fueling your body and letting your body recover
you will not see the results you want. You grow when you
recover. I focus on foods that make you look good but also
foods that provide you with all the essential nutrients to make
you internally healthy as well. If you’re not feeling good inside
you won’t perform your best in the gym to see the results you
want.
Over the years I’ve done many fad diets such as keto, vegan,
carnivore etc. It really comes down to what your goals are and
how your body reacts to the foods you consume. Everyone is
unique and built differently.
Person A’s diet wouldn’t necessarily work for person B. Person B
might benefit better with higher fat content while person A
might benefit with more carbs in his or her diet. It’s my job as a
trainer to find what works best for you.

change but you can always change your body and mind set
