Here is Jon's interview in full
Jon, welcome to Stunning Men and thank you for doing the interview.
Thank you, it’s great
to be able and sit down with you guys.
Could we start off by talking a little about yourself
and your background?
Yeah, about
me ... I'm a pretty easy going guy. I'm married to the woman of my dreams,
Mallory, who is a competitive bikini model. My background is primarily
military; I have been in the U.S. Navy for a little over 7 years now doing
medical as a corpsman. I wasn’t always into bodybuilding, it wasn’t until I met
Sean barber the owner of Olympus gym that I got into bodybuilding, since I’ve
started lifting he really has taken me under his wing and shown me the ropes.
What do you like about the Navy?
I love my job as a
corpsman which is basically a combat medic for the Navy and Marines. I have two
tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. I wouldn’t trade a single day for
anything in the world. My job is to help people when they need it most. It’s
very rewarding for me. I get to see patients and treat their physical injuries,
it’s a blast; I really can’t see myself doing anything else.
How did you get into modelling?
Well I don’t know actually
... I was at the Nationals watching my friend and mentor Sean Barber compete in
heavy weight bodybuilding. I went outside to have a smoke and met Michael
Downs. He asked if we could do a photo shoot and it just kind of went from
there ... I'm competing in men's physique at the flex Lewis Classic and that
will be my first show so I'm kind of nervous just because I don’t know what the
judges are looking for or even what I'm supposed to do.
So, you have just worked with Mike Downs for on your first shoot; how
was it like?
Yes Mike Downs is the
only photographer I've worked with, it was good. I was nervous because it was
my first photo-shoot and I wasn’t sure what he was looking for. But once we got
started shooting things just seemed to fall into place and it was pretty easy
after that; I had a great time working with him. I am hoping that we can do
another shoot together shortly before my competition this year.
We are sure there will be more photographers wanting to work with
you soon ... What do you enjoy the most about modelling?
There's a couple things
really, I'm not gonna lie I liked being in front of the camera, once I got used
to the lights and the posing it was fun. I had a good time. Second where else
can you get paid to be in shape. I love working out, since I started it’s
basically all I do. Third it’s great to travel. I mean I do enough of that in
the Navy as it is, but it’s nice to travels without the worries of being on
duty.
You have an amazing physique. I imagine the Navy keeps you fit! But
besides that, what kind of exercises do you do to keep in top shape? Do you
practise any sports?
I don’t actually play
any sports now. All growing up I played everything from soccer, football,
basketball, and even tried my hand at baseball. But I also was really involved
in the boy scouts so we went camping a lot which was great cause it gave my dad
and I a chance to get to know each other better.
What is your best lift at the gym?
My best lift, I don’t
usually max out because I have a torn muscle in my right shoulder so I can’t do
the bench that well but the last time I did max as about 3 months ago and it
was 350lbs on the flat bench 5 times.
Could you talk us through your gym/training routine?
I have so many
different routines it would be like 35 pages to do them all. But for instance
on Mondays when I do chest I’ll do chest, calves and abs. I’ll wait for Mallory
to get off work and we’ll eat a quick dinner, wait about an hour then take our
pre work out, and drive to the gym. Once there we drop our stuff off and say
hey to all our friends and give ourselves a few minutes just to mingle and kind
of get in the right mind set to lift. We usually start with flat bench at 55lbs
dumbbells just to warm up so I don’t risk injury. Then I’ll move to a heavier
weight. Now that I'm 12 weeks form competition I'm lifting 95, 100, 105 ... for
reps of 14, 12 and 10 respectively. After that we’ll either do flat bench or
decline depending on what week it is. Then we move to the butterfly machine
where I’ll lift 15,175, 200 ... and the trick with these is to do 10 full ones
followed immediately by 10 short ones where you only open up about an inch,
then do the next set. After that we will move over to cable crossovers and set
it up to do the bottom top and then the centre of the chest at 40, 50, 60 lbs.
for 18,16 and 14 reps respectively. After that chest is done and we move on to
calves which depending on the day, we usually just use the machines in the gym
and do a high weight high rep burn out type exercise for calves. Then we do abs
which is 60 flutter kicks followed by 20 leg raises and 20 cross crunches on
each side. Then we take our post work out, head home and eat.
What do you eat in a normal day?
It really depends on
the day but I eat around 6-10 times a day depending on what I'm doing that day.
I typically eat eggs, walnuts, and a protein drink for breakfast, then every
other meal is chicken and sweet potatoes; the amount really depends on where in
my cut/bulk cycle I am.
Do you allow yourself a cheat day?
Cheat day ... that’s
happened a couple of times but I try to keep it to just a meal. My wife and I
typically cheat Sunday afternoon when we can have dinner together.
How do you approach a challenge?
Well I'm very
analytical so I look at the challenge and do a risk assessment. From there if it’s
worth the risk I do what it takes to complete it. If I have to get outside help
then I’m not above that either; we all need help sometimes.
Besides modelling, what gets your interest? What
hobbies do you have?
I love being outside. I
was a mechanic for a couple of years before I joined the Navy so I love to
tinker with stuff. I thoroughly enjoy off-roading; the skill and technique to
get through some of the stuff is what I’m about ... anyone can just drive
through the mud but can you drive up that rock wall? I also just enjoy camping
with my wife and family, we like kayaking, backpacking, racing, all that kind
of stuff my brother and I are just big kids. If it makes loud noise, goes fast
or is in any way dangerous we will probably find a way to play with it!
What‘s your best way to relax?
To relax I like just
sitting on the couch with Mallory and watching a movie or going camping. I
really am an outdoors man, so just being outside is relaxing to me
Do you have any role models? People who inspire you?
Yeah right now my
biggest role model is probably Sean Barber, I mean he's a good guy and he's
very business smart. When we meet we were both out riding motorcycles and from
there we just kind of hit it off. We've known each other probably about three
years now and when I told him that I wanted to do bodybuilding he was one of
the few that didn’t say “well buddy you’re too small”! He gave me the tools and
knowledge I needed to be able to get started and has been the biggest help on
my journey so far. Any time I have questions he answers them and as I mentioned
earlier he has really just taken me under his wing and set me up for success.
Can we now have a few fun questions? Do you think you are a good
date?
Well I haven’t been in
the dating scene for a while but I guess I like it best when Mallory and I just
go to dinner and get a chance to catch up just me and her, no diet no bodybuilding,
no phones just me and her. We try and do that as often as possible because we are
both so busy. But otherwise I guess I’m the traditional kinda guy so dinner and
the movies is a perfect date for me
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Ha-ha shit I have lots
of these stories ... probably the craziest was one night Mallory was on the
back of my Honda CBR 600 RR and we entered a race that was the entire loop
around Nashville, Tn. Well when I entered the race I didn’t make her get off, I
let her stay on the back and out of probably about 100 riders we placed 4th,
so that was kind of cool. Looking back on it though, either one of us could
have been hurt really bad that night.
Are you a brief man or a boxer kind of guy?
Boxer briefs actually;
I like the feeling of the briefs but the legs of the boxers.
What do you listen to on your iPod?
This one is easy there
are only three genres on my iPod: country rock and hip-hop.
What kind of movies do you like?
Obviously action!
One last question Jon, where do you see yourself and what would you
like to be doing in 10 years time?
In 10 years ... man
that’s a way down the road ... I’ll be close to retiring out of the military so
I’d like to have my degree finished by then, maybe have a family ... by then
hell who knows? Maybe I’ll even grow up a little.
Jon you
have been a real pleasure to interview! Thank you for your time and for
being such good sport! All the best with the competition and for the future!
