    Description:  I’m the creator of the SPARTAN HEALTH REGIMEN program which is a diet, training and lifestyle program aimed at health and fitness fanatics. I’m an Australian but spend my time living between Sydney and Las Vegas.

    What got you started in health and fitness?
    I’ve always been interested in health and fitness. I was always the guy doing extra training on my own in school and trying to eat right. I followed all the advice I could find in bodybuilding and fitness books and magazines. I read about and tried nearly every system and method I could.
    But it wasn’t until I got heavily into Jiu Jitsu training in my mid-twenties that I started to think there must be a better way to eat and train for maximum results. Because for martial arts you want real functional strength and fitness not just size.
    I started a quest to find the best methods for both diet and training while keeping in mind the Bruce Lee philosophy to “Take what works and reject what doesn’t”.

    What are your Favorite and least Favorite exercises?
    You mean for strength training? I’m a big fan of compound movements for strength training and against fancy isolation exercises. Isolation work might be good for injury rehabilitation but it’s a waste of time for a guy who wants to build real strength and power.
    One of my all round favorite strength exercises for the upper body is the Overhead Press. I move a lot of students off focusing on the Bench Press and onto hard training with the overhead press. This builds a lot of functional strength through the whole shoulder girdle area which is totally useable in contact sports and in real life situations like a fight. Plus it’s a more natural movement than the bench press, causes less injuries and creates a look of POWER by developing the shoulder, upper chest and upper back muscles rather than just big droopy pecs.
