What´s the advantage oif an sportive body, if you don´t develope him?

NOTHING!

The sport lessons at the catholic St. Marien Volksschule (primary scholl) i visited were not important.

The teacher critized at all that my father took me to the swimming bath before the lessons took place. The teacher said, I should better care about the subject matters, altho I was the best pupil of the class.

At the Jungengymnasium Wanne - Eickel (junior high scholl) we got standard sport lessons with any respect to the individual possibilities and differences of our bodies.

I should have been sponored in a special way, because lite athletics are not the right way for me.

The sport only caused frustration and so my eating disorder rose up.

Now it should follow some years of physical inactivities. This picture was taken in 1979, I was 24 years old, and it shows my typical behaviour at that time.

In the year of 1981 my mother and I moved to Herne in a smaller freehold apartment. The narrownes of the apartment was terrific for me and so I started to go outside.

My first walks should make only a few hundreds of meters to the neaby parc. But that was the beginning.

I ´d never got problems to be able to handle my very high body - weight, because of my stron and athletich body - constitution. Especially my legs are very strong and powerful.

...and si I started to make more and more and longer walks. When I ´d overcome my extremely body weight a few years later - here you can see a photo from 1990 at the age of 35 years - I could make walkings up to 10 - 15 km without any problems.

Then I superseeded the walkings by lite joggings - speed is not important for me -, and so today I reach tours up to 20 km and more.

But that should not be enough...Auf die Dauer reichte es aber nicht.

I got somebody to known by adavantage, who made bodybuilding, and I was fascinated by this sport at once. At 1998 septembre I started my training in a fitness studio in Bochum (photo at the left side) At the mjeantime I ´ve been training for ten years, and it becomes more and more problematic for me to find a studio which likes hardcore bodybuilders.
