GÜNTER SCHLIERKAMP

Günter Schlierkamp, once voted Germany’s greatest-ever bodybuilder by the readers of Sports Revue Magazine, said, 

‘I have really enjoyed working with Multipower to develop the Professional range. With over 30 years in the industry, the company has a long history of expertise and understands the intensity of our sport, designing effective supplements for athletes who demand results. I was a fan of Multipower’s products when I was getting started, and it is great to see the progress the company has made since, and to be associated with them once again. ‘I am also excited to be working closely with Dan,’ Schlierkamp continued. ‘He has a great future ahead of him as a competitive bodybuilder. I see a lot of similarities between where he is now and myself back then. I would like to hope my experience can be of use to him and I look forward to following his progress closely.’ 

Günter Schlierkamp is one of the sport’s most popular bodybuilding pros. The 41 year-old, who has trained with the legendary Charles Glass, launched his professional career in 1993, following a victory in the heavyweight division at the World Championships, which earned him the ‘Mr Universe’ title. Other career highlights include 5 top ten finishes at ‘Mr Olympia’ and a first place at the 2002 Show of Strength.

Body Builder 

Stuart Garrington is a body builder and owner of Ebor Fitness gym in York.
I have been training since the age of 15 when I went to work in a gym on work experience from school and got hooked on weight training from there. As time went on I became more interested in the nutritional aspect of bodybuilding and I started dieting for my first competition at 17 years old. I believe that following a bodybuilding lifestyle at a young age instilled the discipline in me that I have transferred into everyday life as it showed me ‘you only get out, what you put in’. I have used this philosophy right through my bodybuilding career and also in my business. I opened Ebor Fitness in 2006 at 23 years old and since then have moved both the business and my bodybuilding up to the next level through putting a lot of time and effort into both.

Throughout many years of training I have tried many different styles of training and I could not say that I have a set style now, I think it is important to switch training styles every now and then to shock your body and find out what your body responds to the best. I take a very keen interest in nutrition and I am always learning. I always found that sticking to the basics works well for me although I do keep my protein pretty high. I think with both training and nutrition there are no big secrets it really just boils down to consistency, not missing your meals and supplements and training hard when you get into the gym.

My short term goals for 2010 are to win my class at the N.A.B.B.A. UK championships and get into the top 6 at the N.A.B.B.A. Universe in October. My longer term plans are to win the N.A.B.B.A. Britain and Universe.

Multipower Sponsorships - Michael Page
Kickboxing UK No. 1

Ten times World Champion, Michael Page was born into Martial Arts.

His father is a Kung Fu Master and his brothers are also Kickboxing World Champions. At 23, he is currently ranked UK No1, and has an impressive array of international titles including both the US and British Open belts, as well as being the Italian and Irish Open Champion. 

Mature beyond his years, Michael has been appointed the WKA (World Karate Association) Head Coach and will be leading a team to the WKA World Championships in Spain at the end of October.

When he’s not jetting off round the world to compete, Michael’s day job, as an Academy Manager for the Great Britain Martial Arts Academy, allows him to pass on his skills and experience to budding kickboxers, some as young as five years old. 

In 2010, Michael has one aim - to work tirelessly as an ambassador for his sport, lobbying the IOC to allow Freestyle Kickboxing in to the 2016 Olympics. We wish him luck and look forward to helping Michael achieve all his goals.

Body Builder, Teacher

Since finishing in the top ten in the nabba british finals, class one back in May 2009 which was my first competition.

I have had to make some choices, where do I go from here? Do I compete again this year or do I use my off season to gain some more size? Well after a month of rest and recuperation, by which I mean food and lots of it, I have decided my next challagenge is to break into the top six of class one. To do that I need to increase my muscle mass and continue to stay in shape so the dieting isn't so hard come next competition preperation.

So its back to the clean food, increase meals a day and lots of Multipower protein shakes, namely Xplode, d-fine and 100% whey. I am using the mulitpower products to gain weight and improve muscle development and quick repair because of the great success I had at the finals earlier this year using them. Training wise its back to the training sessions at the gym, working on a rotation of muscle groups daily, using heavier weights and longer reps. I have started to do Thai boxing to keep the CV work up and keep me in shape. I do one session a week and find it is great as a variation to the gym and keeps me motivated. To relax and help the body repair itself I try to get a suana in once a week, it just helps ease the muscle tension and helps me wind down after a long week.

Lots of hard work and the challenge will be won.
