Jonny is a vegetarian and a Heavyweight natural body builder. He recently entered his first show, the BNBF Southern 2004 and placed a controversial 4th.
Jonny says:
"Achieving this level of mass is bloody hard - getting ripped harder! But you would be amazed the reaction people give when they find out I don't eat meat! It is a case of well if the supplements can do that for a veggie - what will they do for me?
I have a muscle wasting condition, Fibromyalgia Type 2. I have to endure more pain for less gains. My bloods are clear at present so it looks like I have a good year ahead. This should be beneficial as I will take a before (off season pics) and after pics. I have using Norateen II, the results are quite dramatic!!
Homeless at 14 & in Portland YFA at 17. This tough start has led to a survival attitude and the study of philosophy such as Sun Tzu where I perform seminars and Life Coaching.
Junior BWSA (Surfing) champion 1987, British champ 1989. Was this year that the pains I had became worse and function of synovial joints became limited. After a few years of not knowing what the condition I had was, I lost much of the power in my left quad.
After years of physio I found that DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness) and hypertrophy suspended the damage caused by the disease and that maybe with superior nutrition I might rebuild lost muscle tissue. Since 1994 I have studied training and nutrition to degree level and have a WABBA qualification for personal training.
For the last 3 years I have set myself the goal to prove this condition can be beaten, that I can be a successful natural bodybuilder and aim to take a British title. To achieve the mass I have in 3 years is an achievement in itself, especially as I was told I more than likely will end up in a wheelchair!
I beleive LA muscle will give me the advantage I need to not only level the playing field, but supersede it!
I have been vegetarian since 1984 (only eat dairy and eggs). A big surf life guard, male model and physique model, successful comedian (currently working on a commission that is like Punked meets The Office)! Training for 10 years but bodybuilding for 3."
LA Muscle will be helping Jonny get in to the best shape of his life and win the body building title he so desires.
