John Perry

U.S. Navy Petty Officer Third Class John Perry went to sea in 2003 and became one of the first crew members of the USS Momsen, a guided missile destroyer. That job has enabled him to see Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Guam and go through the Panama Canal. It also enabled him to get serious about lifting in 2006—when he cruised across BodyBuilding.com.

John was interested in working out, as were many of the crew, but when he found BodySpace, he discovered a place where people could share their interest in getting into better shape. John found articles about how to lift and how to build muscle—and he got answers to his questions about supplements.

“We would be offshore, and the heli would come in with the mail with as many as 100 boxes, all from BodyBuilding.com—only three days after placing an order. Other companies would take forever.”
John is looking forward to doing his first show. He’s lifting hard and loves it. He especially likes to work arms, shoulders, chest and back at least three times every week.

His diet is clean, but he knows he has to tighten it up to be onstage. Protein from Muscle Milk and VyoTech 17HD are among his favorite supplements. Beyond his aspirations of getting bigger and getting onstage, he one day hopes to open a gym.

What else makes it fun for John? He often works out with his wife, Jamie, and they are expecting their first child any moment. For more on John, check out his BodySpace, “john22perry,” on Body
