Getting Trained By Eric Dilauro
QUESTION: You have recently switched trainers to Eric Dilauro and you seem to have made some remarkable progress in your physique. How has your training and diet changed?
ANSWER: Thanks for noticing! Yes, after my 2009 season, I realized it was time to make a change if I really wanted to elevate myself to the next level and make the judges take notice. I met Eric in 2009 at the Arnolds through my good friend, Mr. Olympia himself, Jay Cutler. Eric is an integral part of Cutler’s training camp, and trusted friend of Jay. After an okay season of competing—second at Nationals and sixth at the North Americans—I knew it was time for a change and that I was capable of achieving much more with my physique! At the 2010 Arnolds, Eric and I discussed my goals for the season and the possibility of working together. By April, I was heading to LA to train and learn the discipline it takes to reach my goals. The biggest change I’ve made to both my training and dieting is consistency. And I don’t mean just in the on-season—I mean all year long. I no longer have an off-season! I stay within 10 percent of my stage weight all the time. The result: more quality muscle, better conditioning, and an easier diet and dial-in come competition time! To achieve a goal, you have to put in 100 percent of your effort all the time—there is no on or off-season!
