Transformational coach and creator of Psychofitness Chris Lewis talks about the early days of Gold's Gym in California, training there and then later training world champion bodybuilders.
All the top bodybuilders and stars used to work out at Gold's Gym: Charles Glass, Chris Cormier, Flex Wheeler, Kobe Bryant, Mike Tyson, Gregory Hines, Ray Liotta and more.
"I knew 'The Rock' when he was just a pebble."
I remember Flex said, 'When you doing a show?' No, no, I just wanna hang out. and Flex said, "No, we do shows. And we win shows.' "
"Chris would differ, but I was always stronger than those guys."
"Everybody loves the shows,...but I fell in love with the grass-roots level, 15-weeks out, and we gotta get going." Back in those days "they had to win. Or else they lost the contract, or the sponsorship got cut. It was just that simple. They had to look the best they did. So the level of intensity was super high."
"I fell in love with the prep part of the thing."
What I primarily do now is nutrition and diet and specific training for select clients. The difference between back then and now is the seriousness and intensity/mental attitude.
