GARCIA<br />

WHICH DO YOU RELY<br />

ON MORE, FREE<br />

WEIGHTS OR<br />

MACHINES? WHY?<br />

On most occasions,<br />

my workout routines<br />

are balanced equally<br />

between both. Many<br />

times the amount of<br />

weight and joint stability<br />

I require for the<br />

movement will dictate<br />

whether I will need to<br />

move to a machine.<br />

RHODEN<br />

DO YOU WORK OUT IN<br />

THE MORNINGS OR<br />

EVENINGS? IF IN THE<br />

MORNINGS, DO YOU<br />

EAT BEFOREHAND?<br />

I always look to<br />

train in the morning,<br />

approximately an hour<br />

after eating. Getting that<br />

done early clears the<br />

way for everything else<br />

I hope to accomplish<br />

during the day.<br />

A LOT OF US WERE EXPECTING TO<br />

SEE YOU AT THE ARNOLD CLASSIC<br />

IN COLUMBUS. WHAT HAPPENED?<br />

I never requested to compete at the<br />

<strong>2017</strong> Arnold Classic in Ohio—that was<br />

just a misunderstanding. Early on,<br />

my name was put on the list in error.<br />

I competed at the Olympia Europe<br />

after a very busy end of the season,<br />

and to be in the Arnold Classic<br />

I would have had to jump back into<br />

prep in January. It was going to be<br />

too much time away from my family<br />

after too much time away already.<br />

I have a 21-month-old toddler at<br />

home, and I wanted to be around<br />

more for her.<br />

WE HEARD YOU WENT TO<br />

DISNEYLAND. ARE YOU A<br />

ROLLER-COASTER FAN?<br />

The fastest ride I go on at Disneyland<br />

is the Pirates of the Caribbean. You’ll<br />

never catch me on a roller coaster.<br />
