How did being thin and frail as a child play a role in building your current body?
When I looked around, I always saw people “wider” than me, and after a while, as we spent time together, even simple sentences like “you can’t carry it, let me carry it” left a deep impression on me and motivated me to step into the world of fitness.
How do you keep your fitness knowledge up to date?
For example, just as some people like to study and research history, same goes for me about fitness because it is my job after all. After a while, thanks to the pleasure you get, it becomes difficult to stop yourself and the rest is coming. As a result, you can’t stop even if you want to.
Where does your motivation come from?
When I look back, I realize how much I have improved and the support of my followers helps a lot, especially when my mood is down. And I’m already excited to think about my future achievements.

What are the simple two benefits of lifting weights?
Strengthen physically and mentally. Physically, you are stronger because your muscles have developed, and when you look in the mirror, the feeling of “wow, I succeeded” strengthens you mentally.
