Biography

Cricket To Bodybuilding

When Nick was younger, his first passion was cricket. However, he also enjoyed playing rugby and tennis. After he finished high school, he slowly started to move away from sports and became less active as he didn’t have the same structure.

After he moved away from home, and despite the fact he became a personal trainer after high school, he admitted, “I started to get a little ‘fluffy’ at one point!”

Gaining Weight

“Even though I was a personal trainer, I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror! I felt I really wasn’t ‘walking the walk’ and I decided I needed to make some changes.”

He rarely cooked and he ate a lot of “take-out” food and the weight soon started to pile on. At this moment in Nick’s life, he didn’t have any concept of nutrition, and he believed all he needed to do was to, “find the right training program.” 

Becoming A Role Model

“After all, people don’t want trainers who are out of shape. Looking back, I possibly battled a mild form of orthorexia. When I began focusing on my nutrition, I adopted a terribly strict and regimented approach.”

After realizing his health was declining and he wasn’t the ideal role model as a personal trainer, he decided to study and learn the basics of nutrition. Needless to say, he studied, worked hard and made his dreams into a reality.

Nick’s Life Now

Since his transformation, Nick has created a successful online coaching program while simultaneously working as a brand sponsor and athletic model.

Training

Progressive Overload

For Nick’s training routine, he’ll perform squats, bench press, and deadlift 2-3 times a week and also add in moderate and heavy days depending on his training focus for that month.

Nick is always working on increasing his volume over time, as opposed to squeezing as much volume into one session. He will mainly perform traditional bodybuilding accessory work around his main compound lifts.

He’ll also like to use drop sets, and overload techniques.

Cardio

Nicks favorite form of cardio is HIIT. Depending on his goals, he’ll perform cardio once or twice per week. However, he’ll sometimes eliminate cardio from his schedule altogether. But most weeks Nick will keep up with cardio as he says it makes him feel better.

For his HIIT session, he’ll do 6-8 sprints and 100% intensity for 15-20 seconds, and then have active rest for 1:40 seconds.
