Meet: Ryan Victorino
If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?
I would tell myself not to give up after my first physique competition in 2012. That’s around when I took over as a manager and kept telling myself it would be too difficult to compete while managing a store.
How do you fit exercise into your schedule?
The gym I go to opens at 4:30 am, so I get my workout in before I go into work at 8:00 am. I will do cardio after work depending on how the work day has treated me. Having a physical job like a zookeeper has definitely made this prep for a show difficult. I hurt my rotator cuff trying to lift too much cow poop into the cart, and ended up having to have my lip stitched up from a separate incident.
I love lifting weights! I hit the stair stepper for cardio. Since football, I haven’t done too much plyometrics or powerlifting.
If money was no option, I would love to travel outside of the U.S. to do wildlife research or conservation help.
Carne asada fries! I definitely miss California’s Mexican food the most.
What is on your fitness playlist?
I love listening to EDM when working out. It gets me in the right mindset, and I can just go!
What is your favorite Purus Labs stack, and how do you use it?
I remember starting at Vitamin Shoppe, and Muscle Marinade was around. I was really happy when Condense came out and have been using that since. NOXygen was obviously a game changer. Those two are a must! I currently use Condense and NOXygen with Citrulline Malate and L-Arginine from the Foundation Series.

Miss the days he made me laugh and the times he would educate me on supplements.
Sincerely , Marc.
