Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Dylan McDowell @Herculez.fitness

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

Let me start from the beginning. Growing up I have always been the smallest and easiest kid to pick on. I have been bullied from 4th grade to mid high school, this caused me to be very depressed and even suicidal at times. What has saved me from this was fitness. I remember when I was little for some reason I was always attracted to weights, but due to my protective loving parents I was never allowed to used them so I wont hurt myself, until the day of my 17th birthday. Thats the day I got my first gym membership, I started in the 120’s and now I’m up to around 177lbs-182lbs. Last March I participated in my very first physique show, being ISSA certified I did all my diet and training by myself and walked on stage in the best shape of my life(weighed about 160lbs on stage). Even though I didn’t place first(because I couldn’t afford a professional tan) I was greatly recognized by all the professional athletes saying how well I did. Even though I didnt win I was extremely happy and learned so much from that show. My goal in life is to train and help others become better both physically and mentally as I have myself.
