Grant and Martina Aumua


Easily looking like Tarzan (if he had a loin cloth on!), Grant Aumua came swinging into the Sonny Schimdt Classic looking muscular, full and ripped to bits and hardly an ounce of water on him. Grant competed and won the open u90kg, and he would take our award for his awesome condition! But Grant has more than a great body, he also showed he had great will.

8 weeks before the Sonny, lining up on stage looked far away for Grant. He was laid down with severe backache and it wasn't till he went to the doctor that they told him he had the back of an 80 year old. The discs in his back were severely damaged due to years of being an action man, the doctor told him he shouldn't train or compete. But he was determined to continue training for the sport he loves so he used the Sonny as the goal to prove that he can work around his back issues.

The only thing he couldn't really do are heavy squats and anything that could impact on his back such as running. So he trained his legs a little lighter and did the cross trainer so that he didn't jar his back. Dietwise Grant eats clean year round but he did have to be more strict with diet this time giving up crossants and icecreams - usually he has it once a week.

Ofcourse he said he couldn't have done this without the support of his wife Martina (who also looks amazing and we can't believe she just turned 50 - wow!!! that's another story). Together they have a goal of taking out the National Couples title but first they'll compete at the CNI in September.
And we wish them all the best...Tarzan and Jane!!
