Sponsorship

I am exploring getting sponsored.


Although this link/article clearly spells what is involved and required: So you want to become a sponsored athlete?


The basic strategy would be,

1. Get into sponsor worthy condition
2. Enter competitions *winning would be good*, promote yourself, network within the industry
3. Attract attention from sponsors
4. Get sponsored
5. Drive around in a limited edition Kia Picanto with muscle promoting slogans


Neville, I'm afraid sponsorships are few and far between. One really has to excel in our sport in order to be considered for a sponsorship. Anyway, you dont need a sponsor to reach your goals. Eat right, train right, and you'll come right. Supplements are not all they're made out to be.e

Goal

 I want my back to look like this:

I want my arms to look like this:

Two days off....

Because of the Easter break, I did not go to gym on Friday (Cardio) and Sunday (Legs), as the gym was closed.  I also did not go to gym this morning, because it was raining cats and dogs and I don't have a car of my own.  I did go yesterday and do chest.  

Have to go very light when doing a Bench Press, but all else I go pretty heavy.  

Week 4

Into Week Four of my Twelve Week Program.  


Did chest today and actually managed quite well on the Bench Press - it was only like 20KG, but did a full set of 12 reps each.  

Legs

My legs will look like these

Heavy back w/out

Today, I left the gym feeling so good after a fantastic back workout this morning!  So confident was I, that I asked someone in teh changing rooms to take a couple of photo's of me, although they came out pretty crap.  

I used heavy weights and enjoyed it.  Also got into a groove when doing shrugs on teh Smith Machine.  But I 
really need straps for that.

Supplements

I strolled down to Atlantic Nutrition in Sea Point to price supplements. Mark, suggested I get some kind of powder to drink before my w/out and then immediately afterward take a Creatine supplement which comes in a huge container.  I also looked at grips.  


In total; it'll cost over R1000, but well worth it.

Day Two; third week of my 12 week muscle building plan


Today was chest & abs.  I incorporated a couple of butt exercises to firm up my butt.  The 2nd one, was near damn impossible.  The 1st one was Walking Lunges.  Was nice.  Will try incorporate them into my w/outs more often.  


I've just realized I forgot to do dips!  Oh well.  


I had to go really light with my Bench Press - I mean like 10KG.  It's not my strength, but gotta build on it and make it my strength.  Incline Dumbbell Press was great.  I felt very comfortable doing it.
