Hi, my name is Will Rogers
I’m a competitive strongman from Tasmania. I grew up rurally and have always been naturally strong. In my teens I did Powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. After an injury I tried bodybuilding but instead of getting bigger, I got stronger. I started strongman at a competition in January 2019 where my coach Camilla Fogagnolo recognised my potential and I have dedicated my life to it ever since. I was thrown straight in the deep end from the beginning, competing at The Arnold International, Australia’s Strongest Man and earning my title of Tasmania’s strongest man all in my first year.
I have big dreams and with the support from my gym, my coach, my sponsors and loved ones I believe I can achieve them.
I have been using Bulk Nutrients from the beginning and I am so proud to be representing a great product and a Tassie brand.

Creatine Monohydrate

Protein Matrix - Choc Honeycomb
Why I love it: For Strongmen, fast recovery is essential. Which is why I use Protein Matrix. As stated “It combines some of the most pure forms of protein available anywhere in ratios that are perfect for muscle growth and recovery. Our blend also includes additional Glutamine for its recovery benefits”. So it’s the best option for me.
How I use it: I have a scoop several times during the day with carbs and water and in the evening with milk. Sometimes I use it to make rice pudding.

My approach to nutrition
My diet includes LOTS of beef, rice, potatoes, pasta and green veggies. I follow the Vertical diet. However I have supplements and snacks outside of that when I feel like it. I am also gluten free.
I have 4 large meals per day. My meals are so large that they never fail to get a comment like “I wouldn’t eat that in a week”.
