Gold's was the first bodybuilding gym made for bodybuilders.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
They came from all over the world to work out at Gold's Gym.
Gold medals are made out of your sweat, blood and tears, and effort in the gym every day, and sacrificing a lot.
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
My dad's a bodybuilder. My whole life I've been taught to train the hard way. I believe in earning strength, not buying it. My grandfather raised me old school: In baseball, you work for whatever you get.
Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.
The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80's.
Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.
The first time I joined the gym was during the Miss Sri Lanka pageant in 2006. Then, I went for the Miss Universe contest where I was exposed to girls who were very fit for their age. They could have joined the Olympics. They were doing crazy exercises.
Of course, when you're training your whole life to get to the Olympics, you train for gold.
Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.
