Being fat is now cool?

 

You must be thinking here is an Oprah or Tyra talk show topic

 

As most of us are rushing round the malls at the end of the month to pay the bills and get all we need for the month ahead. I was just going about my own to do list. Let me first give u more insight. I don’t often do it but I went straight from training, to the shops, I did not have time to shower so stayed in my training gear -shorts and vest.

 

Now I was so uncomfortable walking in my tiny shorts and vest. So I for the first time paid attention to what the rest of the people was wearing and all the people was well dressed, but oh my word - I did not realise in what bad shape South Africans were. Now this was at 12 am so all the food stops was full and there weren't one place that sold good clean food, but this wasn't the worst part at all, all the spots were full off fat, flabby and out of shape people. And all of them looked more then happy sitting and stuffing pizza and steak rolls down their throats.

 

The Big Spirit of Athletes

 

As you know by now, I’m a power lifter. And not yet great at it, so as you can imagine I’m always looking for the next break-through in my approach to training. I guess it is the same in all aspects of life. If you are a business man and cannot yet go on a 1 year holiday and still make money without being pro-active in your business, you are probably still looking for that big break- through.

 

So after allowing SIR William to start taking control of my body building workouts, I got really strong in no time and after just a very short time I did my first power lifting comp and came 2nd. I now was on top of the world! But yes there is always a BUT in the next couple of weeks, after that comp my power just kept on going down. So discovered pilates as the way to build a stronger foundation in my body so I can have more control and lift strong and pain free.

 

Ever considered Pilates as a way to a bigger Squat?

 

Yes I know you must be saying here is another W.T.F MOMENT .

Just give me a second to explain how I can make this absurd statement. I’m by no means an expert or a pro. I just started out in the exiting world of powerlifting.

It is all new to me, I went through school as most other boys doing sport and starting to care about my looks, and mostly my bicep curl total and leg press. I played rugby and went to gym to get bigger and better just to make the team, by no means was I a great rugby player.

Man did I just wasted my time at gym yes I got a good looking body and got the respect from all the other boys but nothing I did in the gym at 16 really played a part in my power or to my strength.

So after school I went on to study personal training, still looking for the BIG SECRET that will make me really stand out from the rest. I continued doing old school body building and even did a body building competition. Again I was not the best on the day, so yes still I was looking for the x factor to stand out from the rest.
