The Gunshow

I’m an avid basketball player and one thing that I always felt I lacked in the game, was physical strength. I borrowed some dumbbells from a cousin and started on some weight training, but without the proper guidance of a trainer, I wasn’t making much progress. So when a few of my bodybuilding friends decided to start a bodybuilding club, I joined in.

Before we founded the club, I was already lifting weights outside of school. The major problem that I faced was discipline. Though I could do fine in the gym, I couldn’t stick to my training routine. Every now and then I would slack off. The bodybuilding club thus helped to instill that discipline in me to build up the strength I needed for basketball. I found it very helpful that apart from the accommodating training schedule, friends are almost always in the gym to help me out with heavier weights. Though my muscles are sore almost everyday of the week, I find this a very rewarding activity.

Now that I have an adequate knowledge on bodybuilding techniques, I am able to continue with my training routine even during school holidays. What’s more, I am able to help friends who are looking to start weight training. Not only am I fitter, I believe that bodybuilding has helped elevate my skills in basketball, making this one of the most beneficial activities that I have taken up.
