Sean Susini Interview (2): "Always try to become better than what you are now"

In the second part of our interview I've been talking with Sean more in detail about bodybuilding competitions, modeling and his way of life.

Sean, what do you prefer: bodybuilding competitions or modeling?
I prefer bodybuilding because it is more of a sport than a bragging type thing.
How much discipline is necessary for the preparation of a competition?
Much discipline is needed. Goals have to be set and attained. Diets are strict. And I need to practice a posing routine.
Can you explain us your diet?
I go on a strict diet when I am getting ready for a competition. I generally eat high protein meals and sometimes will have protein drinks.
Are you cool or stressed-out and excited before a
competition?
You are very depleted, thirsty, rushed and confused about scheduling of events. It always feels great after it's over.
Do you get many offers from model agencies after a successful competition?
I get offers all the time. But I usually don't take them for various reasons.
Isn't modeling an easy job for you?
Modeling is harder than it seems if you are a bodybuilder. It is like doing an all day workout because you have to stay pumped. A photo shooting can be very tiring.

How do you handle stress and discipline?
I just deal with it. Just think of the task at hand and do it.
A 15-year-old boy told me he admired you, because for him you are like one of these superheroes in cartoons - but you are even real! Do you like some of the cartoon superheroes too?
Yes, Spider-Man and Batman. Even though they aren't real they have good morals and try hard.
What's important for you in life? Do you have some kind of philosophy?
You know the path, so follow it. Don't dwell on the past. Always try to become better than what you are now. Be kind and helpful to others.
Thanks for this conversation, Sean.
