What is your favourite way to stay active?
Hitting the gym or going for a run with friends. The Royal Glenora stairs in Edmonton are a killer.
What are you favourite supplements and why?
PVL Iso-Gold Whey Isolate, Revolution Nutrition BCAA Splash, and BSN N.O. Xplode. The reason I take protein is a given, BCAA Splash is the best tasting BCAA powder I've ever used and helps with protein synthesis, and N.O. Xplode because I work out at 7am every day and it helps get me out of bed with energy to hit the gym. I’m not a fan of the gym in the evening. It’s way too busy, and I hate being in crowds :P
What are your favourite movies?
This is a hard question. I watch a lot of comedies. The last good one I saw was The Heat. I think my favourite movies of all time would have to be Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Hero with Jet Li. I love martial arts movies. Oh yeah, I’m cool :P
What are your favourite TV shows?
I watch a lot of anime. Attack on Titan was great. I also enjoy Sunday night cartoons such as Family Guy, American Dad and The Simpsons. The last show I watched on Netflix was a British sitcom called The I.T. Crowd. So funny!
What are you favourite songs on your iPod right now?
Angels (Love Thy Brother Remix), Neutralize (Crayen ft. Veela), and (showing my geeky side a bit here) This Silence is Mine from the Drakengard 3 soundtrack.
What is your favourite way to relax?
Gaming, Going to the gym, watching Netflix, eating out, or hanging with friends.
What are your favourite books?
Anything by Neil Gaiman or JRR Tolkien because they’re classics.
