 Aaron 8 wks from NABBA Akl |
Hunky Aaron Kibblewhite looks like he can step on stage tomorrow with his already lean and hard condition, but sorry ladies we'll have to wait until April 24 to see him in his sexy posing trunks when he steps on stage for the NABBA Auckland champs contest. Aaron (37), lives and breathes sports. He first started weight training at 15 and now owns Inspire Fitness in Feilding, no doubt inspiring many of his clients to achieve their body goals. Before that he was a NZ representative in cycling, then competed in his show in 2000 weighing at 89kg. Nowadays, Aaron at 183cm competes at 94kg while weighing around 112kg in the off season. |
What were your achievements before bodybuilding? NZ rep cyclists for 5 years. Competed in 1 world champs two Oceania games. Held several NZ titles and Oceania titles. NZ record holder also. |
|
| Why did you want to compete? and how much did you weigh My first show was Manawatu champs in 2000. I competed to take my training to another level rather than just plod along with no goal! I would have been about 89kg on stage. Contest achievements? I competed in 2000 and 2001 then I had a 7 year break. I started back competing again last year 2009. Mr Manawatu 2001 novice Phys, Mr Manawatu 2009 open phys and runner up Mr Hawkes Bay 2009 open phys. |

Highlight of your sporting career so far Highlight of my sporting career would be representing NZ at cycling and standing on top of the podium hearing the National Anthem. What's your ultimate goal in bodybuilding? Just to be the best that I can on stage each time I compete. I have a main goal of the National champs later this year. |
| Your next contest? Auckland champs Nabba end of April 10. Has there been anyone who's influenced your bodybuliding career? Not really one person in particular. My wife has always been there for me and cooks all my meals. Teresa Edwards has supported me over the years in preparation also. My training partner & good friend Shane Hunter who has brought a more competitive edge to our training with his knowledge of supplements and |

Training philosophy? My training philosophy is to always train hard and be honest with yourself. Listen to your body as it's the best indicator of how you are feeling. Your current training split Mon- Chest Tues- hamy, calves Wed- Shoulders Thur- quads Fri- Arms Sat- Back Sun-Rest |
| What's been your stubborn bodypart and what are you trying to do to get them into line? Probably my calves (I think your either born with them or not) Gone back to old fashion Donkey raises. I get Jo Hala a big 125kg Tongan member at my gym to sit on my back. I pump out as many sets and reps as I can. Do you do much cardio? I do 1-2 Spin classes but try to keep it to a minimum. |
|
 |
What's the main difference between your off season and pre contest diet? Really just cutting out the odd cheat meal and keeping it clean for 6 out of 7 days. Off season I don't worry about how much carbs I'm consuming as I do leading up to comps. |
| How long is your dieting phase what generally do you eat? Normally about 8-10 weeks but I am always trying new things to see how the body reacts. I keep my eating uniformed in that I eat the same things most of the time. Normally mix Chicken, Steak and fish around salads in the summer and or veggies in winter. I mix shakes into my diet 3 -4 times a day also. I always start my day with oats mixed with frozen berries and a scoop of van Myofusion yum!! |
|
 |
Your off season supps? My off season Supps are more geared towards mass. I use Gaspari nutrition mass gainer as well as Myofusion. Size- on along with halodrol and Novadex. I always start my day with Inner Armour body training packs (muti vit) and fish oil for the joints. |
| Supps you live by during pre contest? Pre contest I stay with the Myofusion but cut back the intake. I use superpump and cytolean fat burners pre workout. I add Vit C about 1000-2000mg a day for recovery. I include bcaa's and depending on how I'm looking may use Xenadrine to drop some water.. What do you think are some of the mistakes athletes make when preparing for a contest? I'm not sure that mistakes is the correct term to use. The great thing about the human body is that everybody is different and that means something that works for me may not work for someone else. I think people new to the stage should rely on advice from one or two people that have prepared for lots of shows, as I bet they have tried different techniques each time to get the right formula. |
|
| Have you had a role model who's inspired you? I have always followed Lou Farringo and admire his ability to come back and compete like he did a few years ago. (growing up watching the Incredible hulk will always stay with me also) What do you like most about competing? Favourite part about competing for me is seeing all of the hours, blood sweat and tears coming together on stage. That feeling of yes I am here and doing it. Meeting new people also but I think bodybuilders need to make more of an effort to get to know each other off stage and especially after shows! Least favourite part would be getting Dream tan off my skin!! |

What advice would you give to some of the young guns who are strting out on their bodybuliding journey? My advice to young guys starting out would be learn about your body first and how it works. Get your training and form right then try and increase your poundage in your lifts. |
| Too often I see young guys with lots of natural ability try and lift too heavy to early and their form goes out the window. Good form is the key to building solid muscle as they get older. As always be honest with yourself and train to the best of your ability. Don't loose sight of the fact that you are not the only one experiencing the journey and your loved ones will always be your biggest strength. Aaron Kibblewhite 1 March 2010 |
