When I Started:
Jun, 2005
How I Started:
I couldn't find a dancing partner, so I started boxing. I started working out to enhance my boxing performance. But my first contact with working out was at the age of 13. Anyway, I quit boxing after 4-5 months, and devoted myself to weight training. The chairman of the powerlifting club of the university approached me and asked me to think about powerlifting. At first, I thought he was kidding, or being really cynical about my form, but my training partners encouraged me to go and see what it is like.
Why I Love It:
It's great to conquer yourself. And we have nice people in our gym too. I have great training partners, which helps.
How I Stay Motivated:
Good trainingpartners, setting goals, tracking progress, inventing & experimenting
BB Accomplishments:
I'm not a bodybuilder but a strength athlete. Every kilo I can lift extra is an accomplishment. And being accepted in the mostly male gym is a mini-accomplishment too.
1) tore my jeans while showing a friend how to do a proper lunge step-up. That must have been my thighs of steel working.
2) First PL-meet: 130/62,5/150 @78.1, kneewraps, belt, no suit or shirt
3) Dutch Champion -82,5kg, 2008.
