• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

My journey into Bodybuilding started at age 16. My older brother had a barbell set in the back yard and I used to play around with it. I was naturally strong and often lifted heavier weights than some of the adults. I felt a change inside of me. It was something special but I couldn`t quite understand what it was. I started to get admiration from different folks. I bumped into a buddy of mine I hadn`t seen in 2-3- years. He almost fell over when he saw me. He couldn`t believe the changes I had made in my body. My Mom would always say you look huge walking down the street but she was always my biggest fan.

I joined different gyms and still didn`t fully understand the depth and commitment required to become a professional. But I trained hard and finally decided it was time to start competing. I placed 4th in my 1st competition and 3rd in my next competition. I placed 2nd in my following competition but to my surprise a number of other competitors and some of the audience said I should have won that competition. I entered a weight lifting competition and placed 2nd even though I lifted the heavier weights. But it is based on your body weight so I gave it my best shot. I started traveling and training overseas in many different countries. I`ve gone from experience to experience training and also encouraging others to train. I believe I was a good Ambassador for Bodybuilding and still am.

So this book is not a generic style book which almost all Bodybuilders publish. It's about the Mind Set and how to focus your mind on the job at hand and to overcome distractions. Sometimes you feel a rush heading to the gym and sometime you feel flat. Why? Nothing has changed except your Mind Set. So I wanted to give a different perspective to the reader and hopefully this will encourage them to join a gym and start the journey.

Autorenporträt

Author Bio

Born and raised in New Zealand. I am currently living in Australia. I have always had a passion for travel and new experiences and have travelled to many countries around the world. Little did I know I would end up in war torn East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. Wouldn`t trade the experience for anything. Met some very interesting people. Some very colorful characters. I believe it not only gives you an insight to what is truly happening in these countries but also an appreciation of the benefits we sometimes take for-granted in life.

My interest in writing my first two books "Fatal Decision" and "Hostile Intent" was born out of my fascination in global politics especially the Worlds Super Powers. Following military movements, and political cat and mouse between the UN Security Council members was intriguing and sometimes amusing.

I have travelled fairly extensively to some amazing places around the world and some not so amazing. But the experience is always worth the effort. Some places I`ve traveled: USA, Canada, Mongolia, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Dubai, Kuwait, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, and many more..

Have a great passion for sport, especially Bodybuilding. Both participating and viewing. Living in a tropical paradise like Australia it's easy to be persuaded to venture outdoors and hit the beach.

I truly hope you will enjoy my first two books as much as I did writing them. The new sequel called "Hostile Intent" has just been released through my Publisher and is now available through all major book outlets..

2019
I have just released my first book of poetry. It's from the heart so I hope you will enjoy. It's my 3rd book.

2019
Just released my 4th book which is about my travels and experience. It's a short story. I will write a sequel to this at some stage as I have many experiences overseas.

2020
Have released my 5th book entitled, "The Mind Set". If the mind is strong the body will follow.
I would like to dedicate this book to my three children, Darcian, Dayna and Calin.
