*What was the factor that made you decide to begin competing?
I promised my friend Carlos that I would enter a contest so he would not be the only "first timer".
.
*Why did you become an ABA/INBA competitor?
The owner of the gym where I work our is Hank Diaz, the promoter of the Copper Classic. I have a great
respect for Hank, so I felt that any organization Hank belonged to must be a good one. As it turns out
my feelings was correct.
.
*What do you like most about the ABA/INBA?
The integrity to follow through on testing. It keeps everyone on the same playing field.
.
*What is your nutrition plan?
Off season I consume 15 calories per pound of desired bodyweight with 1.5 grams of protein per pound
and one cheat day every seven. Preparing for a show I drop calorie intake to 10 calories per
pound and absolutely no cheat day.
.
*What supplements do you feel are necessary?
I feel protein supplements are necessary to offset the amounts of whole food a bodybuilder
would need to consume to get enough protein. A good multi-vitamin and BCAA's.
.
*If there is one thing you could pass on to persons reading this, what would it be?
Discipline and hard work will pay off. Take the word "CAN'T" out of your vocabulary.
Stay motivated and stay natural.

*What is a fun fact about you?
I drive a Kia Soul and I have a stuffed hamster (not a real one), that my wife gave me on the dash.

Memo from the President
Dear Athletes and Spectators,As a promoter since 1977, and world president and founder of this organization for 25 years,
I have been telling my athletes that bodybuilding can be accepted by the people and by the Olympic Games as long as
we band together in the fight for serious testing of our sport. It is common knowledge that bodybuilding has a negative stigma. If we are going to change the peoples perception of the sport we must show them through our actions.

We can do this by:
1) Competing and supporting drug tested shows with IOC standards and WADA testing labs.
2) Stop the mentality that you as a natural athlete are going to prove something by competing in a non-tested show, the only thing you are actually doing is supporting Drug contests, promoters and organizations.
3) Its not only the athlete that has to make a choice, but also the spectator who attends and pays to see these non-tested shows.
4) It's also the promoters that promote non-tested shows or so called "natural" events that really DON'T test or accept "The ABA/INBA/PNBA previously failed or banned for life" athletes.
5) The media, TV and Magazines that put steroid athletes as spokepeople for the sport of bodybuilding.
6) The sponsors that give their money and backing to non-tested events.
7) All these so called "Natural" organizations who never show athletes that have failed the test,
either by not using proper testing criteria, they just aren't really testing the athletes, or just don't really care.

We all need to ban together to support companies that sponsor Natural WADA testing shows and boycott companies that sponsor non-tested shows.The ABA/INBA/PNBA and YOU are changing the future of bodybuilding,making it a respectable and healthy sport for everyone, like it was meant to be.The ABA/INBA/PNBA are the only organization that tests by WADA and IOC standards and have been putting the failed athletes on our website, if all these SO CALLED NATURAL Organizations did the same,
we could clean up the sport a lot faster.The ABA/INBA/PNBA is trying to give the respect and recognition to the true natural athletes, not to the steroid freaks.
As my motto states: TRAIN HARD, TRAIN SMART, TRAIN NATURAL!_______________________________________________________________________

JUST SAY NO!

As the World Leader in natural sports the INBA is proud of the effort it has made over the last decade to offer athletes
a competitive venue in which they can be assured a fair and even playing field. At the INBA we are dedicated to the
natural athlete and take the topic of drug testing very seriously.In fact as you probably already know the INBA adheres to the IOC (International Olmypic Committee) standards and
the tests are conducted by WADA (World Anti Doping Agency). Also in an effort to discourage an athlete from trying to circumvent any of the drug testing procedures we conduct, if an athlete fails one of our drug tests his or her results are
posted publicly on the INBA web site for the world to see.First and foremost the responsibility is yours. The purpose for this letter is to clarify, you. the athletes responsibility. It
has become increasingly difficult to stay on top of the new and ever changing combinations of illegal performance
enhancing and diet drugs. That, we leave up to WADA and their expertise. What we are asking our athletes to do is
to stay informed and educated on the topic of the so called "natural supplement market" Claiming ignorance is not
an acceptable excuse when you fail a drug test due to a "natural supplement" you purchased over the counter.It seems as if every day there is a new product that hits the market that claims similar results to that of anabolic steroids.
The only difference being that it's allowed to be marketed as a natural product. In many cases it is a natural product
but beware of the ingredients. This is where you need to step up to the plate and take the time to research the product and the ingredients. Often
time's powerful natural products are on the market only as long as it takes the FDA to catch up with the manufacture.
Once the dangers and inconsistency's in the product are discovered it is removed immediately from the shelf's. If you
are one of the unlucky athletes who believed your local vitamin store owners sales pitch your next test results just may
not be what you expected. Failing a drug test is the last thing on your mind and the last thing you think could ever happen
to you. Guess what, it happens and it can happen very easily due to today's fast paced supplement market industry. Real testing, Real Natural, Real athletes at teh INBA we stand behind that statement. We also have always looked at our athletes as a big family and are committed to doing everything we can to insure that your competitive stay with us is not only successful but thoroughly enjoyable. So beware of the so called "natural supplements".Some tips that you can use to help avoid any unfortunate events in the future are:Number One: Always research the product and each individual ingredient thoroughly.Number Two: Contact the manufacture and ask if any of the ingredients listed in the product is banned currently by the IOC. Also get the individuals name that you are dealing with that is representing the company.Number Three: If you still have any questions about the product contact us here at the headquarters, NaturalABA@aol.com Number Four: Most importantly JUST SAY NO! Natural Bodybuilding is meant to be a lifestyle practiced by elite athletes 24/7. Quick fixes and magic pills will never replace the blood, sweat and tears it takes to produce a champion. When it
comes to supplements stick to the basics, isolate protein powders, amino acids, multi vitamin and minerals. Patience, perserverence, discipline, dedication, you will never find those ingredients listed in the Hall of Shame.
