BUILT

You’ve seen him onstage; you’ve seen him in the magazines. His articles can be found on the Muscle Insider website and if you’ve had the opportunity to meet him in person you quickly find he’s very humble and very dedicated to his sport. But who is the real Santana Anderson? I’ve had the privilege of knowing Santana for a very long time and I’d like to share with you some things you may not know about him.

1. His first name is William.
2. He was a goaltender all through minor hockey.
3. He plays piano, and very well.
4. Bodybuilding first caught his attention with a magazine purchased on a hockey trip with Porter Cottrell on the cover.
5. He entered a high school powerlifting meet and won the competition with the total of his opening lifts.
6. His first motorcycle was a Kawasaki Ninja 250.
7. He has a dog named Dorian.
8. He once used my younger brother as a dumbbell for one arm rows.
9. His first workout plan came from the Cybergenics manual.
10. His favourite meal while fishing on his father’s crab boat was burnt Kraft dinner and boiled hot dogs (and he would still be a ripped 220 eating this, not fair!)
