Moe and Garry; Master and Apprentice?
This year Auckland based IFBB Pro Moe Mossawi's on a mission to improve both his physique and his PRO ranking on the Pro circuit. To help him, Moe's enlisted the help of former National and International bodybuilder Garry Jones to intensify his training sessions.
| Over the past 2 weeks Garry,
who's a Personal Trainer at Les Mills Auckland, has taken Moe
through some gruelling workouts to fine tune and define Moe's
physique. In this article we get the inside scoop on their sessions and ask Garry about Moe's chances at the Ironman. right: Moe and Garry, who's the Master and who's the Apprentice?! |
How did it come
about that you train Moe? Usually athletes entering a
competition will come and see me at least 12 weeks out. I often
drop into Moes shop for a chat and he brought it up one day. By
this time it was around 7 weeks out from his comp so I said Lets
get to work!
Have you enjoyed training him? And what separates Moe from
the regular weight training Joes?
Yes ofcourse! Moe is a world class athlete and as such sets his
goals very high. Believe me, I have trained quite a few people who
in the beginning think they 'know it all! But one of the things
that I like about Moe is that when I am training him and ask him to
push himself for another set, he does this without question. Most
people place limits on themselves thinking that they are training
hard and I like to take them to another level, to reach their full
potential.
With 4 weeks till contest, will you be
training him more often?
It is dependant on our schedules as we are both busy people but we
are ramping the sessions over the next few weeks.
Have you got a grand plan for him/his
legs? It comes down to Moes energy levels on his leg training
days. I dont beliebe in breaking people. I prefer to get the
best that they can give on the day.We are focusing on separating
his quads and getting some striations going on.
Do you feel abit like master and apprentice when you train him? Funny you should say that, Moe and I joke about it sometimes but really .arent we all our 'own masters?
How do you think hell get on at Ironman
and condition you think he can come in?
Were definitely aiming for the TOP 10! He looks great now and will
look even greater over the next few weeks. Its going to be a tough
line up and a lot depends on what the judges prefer on the
day.
