Hello, thank you for visiting Olarte Coaching! This time I want to talk about an ordinary person like you and me who decided to become a bodybuilder. Here is a short interview I did with our friend Jorge. I hope you like it:
Name: Jorge Calderon Samudio
Age: 42 years
What was your life like before bodybuilding?
Sedentary life, smoking and social drinking.
What motivated you?
A failed love affair lowered my self-esteem and I found a way to feel better physically and mentally through sport.
Who is your motivation?
My most important motivation is my son.
How do you eat during the competition?
I use cassava as a source of carbohydrates because of its low glycemic index, tilapia, chicken and cucumber are my favorites.
How do you eat in the off-season?
Loading and unloading works for me to keep the fat percentage low and maintain good muscle volume at the same time.
Pros and cons of using the phone during training?
In my case, it distracts me during training because of my job, but it’s fair and necessary that I always have my favorite music at hand.
How do you see yourself in 10 years’ time?
I would like to train nature sports enthusiasts, not as a business, but as a means of educating people and raising awareness.
Advice for new generations who want to start bodybuilding and use steroids?
First create a good basis at the muscle level, because steroids are only aids that bring improvements when used correctly; when used incorrectly, they are deadly.
What does Panama need to have to improve in the fitness sector?
We need to improve our training culture, share equipment, be friendlier and tidier.
