What? Less is more! Yes, less is more! For the first three bodybuilding competitions I over trained. I thought the more weight, the more sets and the more the fat that was cut out of my diet the better the finished product would look. This mind set ended up costing me championships.

In 1987 after training in Florida with Mr. Universe Brian Silk, I learned a valuable lesson. Brian was doing half the weight, half the sets in half the time I was known to do. He taught me the importance of allowing the body to rest, recuperate and rebuild. It just did not seem logical to me, I thought.
