The Welsh Dragon Vrs Dragon Slayer- Flex Magazine (October)

Today i arrived home from a hour of cadio to a box waiting for me in the mail, Shina having signed for the box knew what it was and so did i.

We get boxes/ parcels sent here regularly but this time the return address was Weider, this is rare thing to our home.

"Baby what is it" she said.

As i opened the box up, i seen the New cover (No Photo) for the Flex Magazine, it literally jumped out the box into my hands, let me say its freaking awesome great job Chris (Art Director)

Rich and i done this photoshoot back in February, I had a 2month lay off after the Olympia and had been in the gym just 6 weeks prior to this shoot, in all honesty i nearly pulled out, but now seeing the photos and how they come out. I'm happy i didn't!

We shot with "Mr Hardcore" Kevin Horton in a real fly on the wall workout, all weights seen, reps, sets are Genuine even from the quotes which is cool to see and read.

As you can see in the pics i posted, everywhere we go we have a blast Rich is a very driven person, but hes also one the boys, hes more than my boss but my on-road training partner, mentor, business adviser and big brother.

Check out the NEW October Issue- out now!

Battle Scars......... Every year- everytime!

Graphic Photos

Around 5-4 weeks out of every show since the age of 19, i start getting these bad boys blistors- they are my war scars and show my homage to the sport of Bodybuilding, they show my hours and hours of pounding cadio, in the rain in the sun, and back in wales sometime snow, it was ironicaly the weekened of The Europa Super Show, the show i won this time last year where i noticed just how bad they had got the last few weeks, to be honest i didnt really pay attention to pain as in

bodybuilding you tend to ignore the small little aches and pains, and in this is the case with these. it was my show room mate Gaspari's own Joe Vogley VP at Gaspari Nutrition that said to me "what the heck are they" that we took a photo for the you guys on this blog.
As you can see i just got in from a hrs worth of crazy cadio and was still soaking wet.

Well heres the pics just for you..... i hope your all eating at this point! lol

Neil Hill (Yoda) and 5wks out from Atlantic City Pro

Today i took some pics and sent them over to Yoda (Neil Hill) he called me up from his hotel room in Tampa- where he has two guys in this weekends Tampa Pro show and said "mate, your fucking bang on, your ahead for the Olympia and bang on for the Atlantic city"
To me that so much piece of mind.

Neil is a nutritionist who has stood on the Pro stage unlike others and practiced what he has preaches. Check out his conditioning and Posing routine from the British Grand.


Ive been with Neil since i was 19 and believe me when i say hes as straight as they come never mincing his words. If you look like shit believe me you will hear it, if you look good you know it, and if you look great well lets just say he goes nuts...
Those who work with him will know what I'm talking about. He as passionate as they come. I owe alot of my success to him, he more than my nutritionist hes also a life coach, big brother and a lot of times physologist! lol

Again the saying the proof is in the pudding, (with himself leading that way as seen in the youtube video) and why, one of many- many reasons why he keeps on turning out champion after champion.
