Body of 2010 Cover Model Winner Daniel Conaway

Q&A's with Daniel Conaway

Cover Model winner Daniel Conaway really impressed us for maintaining his passion for training and nutrition alongside a hectic schedule as a medical student.

"My passion for the gym developed after my university rugby career was cut short following a shoulder operation. While I missed the team aspect of rugby, the gym became my new home. However, my physique didn’t change overnight and I was pretty clueless when it came to effective training and nutrition. Fortunately, my gym was packed with seasoned gym veterans and I finally made some breakthroughs when I started following their mantra: ‘lift with your muscles, not with your ego."

"Of course, the second part of the equation also needed taking care of too - nutrition and protein! As a vegetarian I struggled to find ways to get the quality protein my body needed without taking in too much junk food. Eventually, after hours spent reading nutrition books and speaking to the local ‘gym rats’, I found the key to developing my physique was eating nutritious vegetarian foods, supplemented by Maximuscle products."
