Anthony Defosse’s interview

What is the reason that pushed you in bodybuilding?

• Personally, I started this sport because of my father...He practiced bodybuilding for over 30 years. I remember that when I was a little boy, I followed him everywhere in the sports club…Then at the age of 14 or 15, when everyone was very enthusiasm into football, my best friend and I had begun to reach our first bars and gradually I began to workout but just a little bit. Then, I acquired a taste for it and it became downright essential... I also remember we were both only ones "teenagers" in the weights room contrary to what we can see nowadays. Which goes to show that the mentalities were changing in this area...

How took place your beginnings? Have you encountered difficulties?

• Not really of difficulties, I am lucky enough to learn from across at the same time. In the first years, I just neglected the legs. But I work on it for 2 years so as not to be unbalanced... and I start to know my body as I make preparations for competition.

   

What is your primary motivation?

• With regard to the physical that inspired me at this time, I really do not know. I wasn't even really a fan of bodybuilding contrary to what we may think... But a few years later the fitness caught my attention. Physical such as Lazar Angelov, Bruyn jaco... etc even more motivated me to make progress and achieve my goals!

I do not see myself as a "bodybuilder". It is for this reason, the physical nearest fitness have more motivated me...

Can you talk with us about your program?

• My program varies all the time, but the basis of my workouts is long series (30reps) with very little time to rest (20-30 seconds) for increased congestion and a biggest muscular definition ;).

Your best exercises?
