92 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || OCTOBER 2015 MFF: We don%u2019t see as big of a presence yet for you within social media as we do for your wife. Can we expect to see a lot more of you, and where should our readers go to find you most of the time?JL: I was very happy with Michelle as the star and me well hidden. I have no urge for the public life, and I don%u2019t see myself as star quality. Michelle opened my Instagram and Snapchat. Apparently it has been well accepted, and I will keep doing what I do. But still, almost all of my energy goes into managing her.MFF: Who were your biggest influencers when it came to your own personal physical development goals?JL: I always admired Jay Cutler from the very start. Not because I wanted to become like him, but I thought he was pretty cool. And very happy that we now can call him a friend. Honestly, I was more looking at the girls in fitness magazines since I thought they were far more fun to look at. And many times, I would read how they work out and do the same. So I do have a lot of understanding for those guys who has Michelle as a role model. MFF: Does Michelle ever %u201cflip the script%u201d and become your trainer, promoter, or manager?JL: Only if I ask for it. Sometimes I come to the gym with no energy. Sometimes that is just to make you feel that you actually went. But I can say %u201ctrain me%u201d and so she does. And then I can%u2019t slack, that would be embarrassing.MFF: What exercises do you perform which give you the greatest sense of accomplishment?JL: I don%u2019t lift %u201cheavy ass weights;%u201d I care too much about my joints and my future for that. However, my pecs are my best asset, and I can go quite heavy there. And when they get all pumped up, I look huge. Needless to say, that%u2019s a nice feeling.MFF: What is your own personal and perfect balance between cardiovascular and anabolic exercise?JL: I do very little cardio, and only if Michelle needs company. I haven%u2019t been on the treadmill or stair master for at least 2 years now; I prefer a power walk around South Beach, Miami. When it comes to anabolic, I try to train so hard that I get sore, and I manage quite well.
