24. Being a SHW, you don’t have to worry about diet and weight.

Yeah, it’s kind of nice but I do follow a diet and I’ve been trying to keep my weight under 350lbs.

25. Do you see the value of nutrition for powerlifters?

Nutrition is very important to any athlete. I didn’t realize this until I was diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic and had to start watching what I put into my system.

26. What type of changes have you made to your diet?

Dr. Serrano helped me out a great deal. He pointed out that I needed more protein, take in fewer carbohydrates and watch the quality of carbs I was taking in. The guy really changed me around. My girlfriend also played a big part. She had to put up with me and my temper tantrums. You would think I was a 5 year old when she wouldn’t allow me to resort to my old ways.
