We won the trophy!

My client Claudine won the trophy this night at IFBB New York City Pro Fitness Championships. See photos here. Congratulations my girl. You made me proud tonight, not because you won but because you showed the strength and endurance that not so many people have.



Sports do not build character. They reveal it. -- Heywood Broun

Sometimes we forget how hard it is to compete in bodybuilding. You have to take your clothes off and go in the front of thousands of people and they will judge the way you look like. Guys if you think this is the easy thing to do, you are wrong. Just imagine the pressure you have and millions of eyes are looking at you from every angle. You can look your best but if some of the bodybuilding judges (who never competed in anything more challenging than a volleyball game at a picnic) do not like you, you are out.

That is why so many trainers scare me today, who never competed in sports or had any athletic talent. They will try to tell you how you should look like or the way you should exercise. That is why you should always get a personal trainer who was an athlete and possesses an athletic spirit.
