Entrevista 28 Agosto 2008:
Bodybuilding serves me on many levels. One is as a refuge from life’s problems. I tend to beat myself up over things, and the focus and dedication of training for some goal always pulls me through the resulting depression. It also allows me to express my creativity from which I get the most pleasure of anything. I have never been good at training as maintenance. So I can relate to my clients in that respect. There are long periods of no training, but something always comes along to get me fired up again. What allows me to sustain a degree of fitness during these lax periods is my lifestyle, which is relatively stress-free, and the vegan diet, which includes no processed or refined foods.(...) When I dropped processed and refined foods, all of what remained of my physical and health problems went away completely. Most had already disappeared when I became vegan.
Con toda justicia, ¿crees que podrías haber ganado el título Sr. América si hubieras sido vegano en los años 70? Pensé que la construcción del músculo necesitaba proteína- y mucha.In all fairness, do you think you could have won the Mr. America title had you been a vegan back in the ’70s? I thought building muscle required protein -- and lots of it.
Not only would I have won, I think I would have been spectacular. I won the Mr. America with the largest winning point margin in the history of the contest (30 points, and the record still stands), and I know the margin would have been even larger had I been a vegan. What I have always had going for me is symmetry. It would have emphasized those lines even more by eliminating the “bloat” that comes from eating animal products, especially dairy. Vegetable protein is infinitely better quality protein for humans and is available in more than sufficient quantities in vegetables.
No sólo habría ganado, creo que habría sido espectacular. Gané el Mr. América con el mayor margen en la historia del concurso (30 puntos, y el expediente sigue en pie), y sé que el margen habría sido aún mayor de haber sido vegano. Lo que siempre he tenido que para mí es la simetría. He puesto de relieve aún más esas líneas mediante la eliminación del "bloat" que viene de comer productos animales *, especialmente los productos lácteos. Proteína vegetal es infinitamente mejor calidad de proteína para los seres humanos y está disponible en los vegetales en cantidades suficientes.
* Esto debería explicarlo algún culturista del foro.
