MC: When you look at the IFBB Men’ s Physique athletes, what do you think? MR: There are a few I can see myself matching with. I see physiques that fit with mine. I have always liked Steve Cook’ s physique. He has the look, as well as the hair. It’ s not only the physique that is aesthetically pleasing. I think that would be my category.
MC: You manage to be athletic and aesthetic. Do you train for that? MR: I have a very athletic background. Tennis, surfing, and rugby were all big sports for me. I do quite a bit of cardio, and I thinks that keeps me looking athletic and my body fat percentage low. I lift weights typically four session a week, for one hour. I split them into bodyparts: chest and triceps, back and biceps, legs, and then shoulders with some more arms. I’ m off from lifting weights or strenuous cardio two days a week, but I might do a yoga class or go for a walk.
