Moll has always been drawn toward competing. He is up and about his time at the gym. However, despite his lifestyle, there was something that was amiss.During his interview with Men’s Health Magazine, he confessed he “had a horrible diet.” Without having a sound knowledge on dietary measures, he ate whatever he could get his hands on.
