www.MOSTmag.com || MOST FITNESS || 47MFM: Did anyone inspire you? Did you ever reach out to them?AT: I have had a lot of inspiration to date from different people. I have been very excited to meet some throughout the years, and have been let down by some as well to learn of how egotistical they were. If there is anything I have learned along the way, it%u2019s that no number of followers, fame, nor accomplishments, truly make anyone above anyone else. I don%u2019t build anyone up too much in my mind anymore. I give respect where it is due.MFM: Do you have any inspirational words to those who look up to you? Or are just starting?AT: One quote or thing I have carried with me for a while, and actually have stamped on a piece of silver is, %u201cdon%u2019t be afraid to fail; be afraid not to try.%u201d I love it and think about that often when undertaking something new. I%u2019m NOT afraid to fail; I%u2019m going to give something my all if I try.MFM: How supportive have your friends and family been? Do you feel your relationships have changed in any way?AT: My family has been absolutely amazing to me throughout this all, and continues to support me every single day! I love my siblings and come from a big family. I have five brothers and sisters; my sisters are identical triplets now in their junior year of high schoolcrazy! I was the oldest boy of two younger brothers and those three girls growing up. My friends have definitely changed though! I have a few that are still very close to me, but for the most part I am not friends with anyone from high school or my early college years. I got a lot of hate thrown at me in the beginning of this all and kept pushing through regardless. I cut a lot of negativity out of my life along the way, and can promise you it%u2019s a key to anyone%u2019s success. Nobody can be truly happy with negative leeches around that only want to pipe up to bring you down. Get rid of those people and embrace the ones who want to see you succeed!MFM: What pumps you up and helps you get started with your workouts? Music?AT: I have a pre-workout nutritional drink and turn up some old school hip hop! I like to listen to some Dr. Dre, Easy-E, Biggie, Pac-all of that gets my blood pumping and ready to kill the weights!MFM: are some of your workout and eating habits? Do you take supplements?AT: I work out religiously seven days a week and do cardio once a day if not twice. I have a home gym that makes it really easy to lift and knock out my cardio. I eat clean and use a meal prep company to keep my meals coming weekly and fresh! I highly recommend that for anyone that has a busy lifestyle and does not have a lot of time for food prep. I use Shredz supplements, and love that they are natural and healthy for my body. I train hard and rely on my nutrition for my building blocks. When it comes to my supplementation, I love the Alpha Male stack from Shredz, as its fills in the missing links and areas that I don%u2019t get with my nutrition.MFM: What do you like to do in your downtime to relax? Hobbies? Cheat days?AT: I am a car lover and a gun lover. I own two Maserati%u2019s and love racing them around. I have been a car person my whole life and get it from a grandfather who owned and raced hotrods and race cars. I get the gun lover side from my dad, and I own quite a few firearms and have participated in safety courses and shooting classes since I was a very young child. I hunted growing up and come from an area where guns are just a part of life. I also
