- My BodyPROUD Story
- Michael Ferencsik PT
I began my fitness career in 1980 and since that time I have worked with over 3,000 clients including children, teenagers, adults and seniors.
I have been certified by the International Sports Science Association and have extensive knowledge in various aspects of the health and fitness industry.
To say I have a passion for health and fitness is a understatement as I have fully expanded my career as a trainer competing in natural bodybuilding contests and in 2007 was ranked 1st in the world as an amateur in the Forever Natural Division by the INBA (International Natural Bodybuilding Association.)
I am also very proud for taking home a Silver and Bronze Medal in the 2007/2008 Natural Olympia.
I am the Nutritional Consultant at The Personal Training Center in Naples Florida and have designed a highly successful program suitable for clients of all ages and fitness levels looking to drop unwanted body fat as well as gain lean muscle and look and feel better.
I have also started a web site called M.A.D. 'Muscle Against Drugs' dedicated to educating our youth to the dangers of performance enhancing drugs. muscleagainstdrugs.com
- My Facts 'n Stats:
- Age 47
Height 5'11
Weight 190lbs
Body fat % = 3.5%
- My AHA Life Defining Moments:
- As a natural athlete always know with the efforts you put forth you will always be better today than you were yesterday and stronger and healthier tomorrow than you are today.
- My Transformation Triumphs!
- Winning one of my first bodybuilding competitions I ever entered and having my family in attendance, especially my daughter Olivia. Coming home victorious as the Forever Natural Universe Champion.
I am also proud to have been chosen as the athlete of the week on bodybuilding.com www.bodybuilders.com/michaelfe.htm
- My bodyPROUD Intentions:
- Become a Role Model to My Children & Family, Compete in Physique Showcase Events, Be an Inspiration to Others, Magazines, Sponsorship, Gain Exposure
- To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:
- To compete in the 2009 Championship in Ft Lauderdale Florida
"Grand Finale"
- My Dietary &/or Training Routine:
- As a natural bodybuilder I stay very close to my competition weight all year long. I have created a diet that allows me to remain at about 4.5% body fat and still put on a small amount of lean muscle mass every year.
The diet is a high protein, moderate carb, low fat program. I take in about 1.5 grams of lean protein per pound of lean muscle mass. I break that amount up into 8 or 9 feedings every two hours. I stay to about 150-200 grams of carbs per day and keep my dietary fat to 25 grams or less per day.
I find the single most important tool is my food journal. I never leave home without it. It helps me stay accountable to myself and remain consistent. Consistency is the key to any diet, it's what we do every day that makes the difference. Nutrient timing is very big part of the program as well.
- My Hero / Role Model / Trainer / Sponsor / Coach / Guru... and Why
- When the bodybuilding bugs bites for the first time you never forget it.
Believe it or not I was only eight years old. I was sitting on the sofa with my father watching a Hercules movie staring the great Steve Reeves. For me at the age of eight it wasn't so much Steve Reeves himself, although I had never seen anyone quite like him before. It was more my fathers reaction. I can remember it like it was yesterday. He said now that guy has one heck of a build on him!" My father never really expressed himself like that, to be impressed by anything it had to be really special.
If my father, my hero , the guy I looked up to as bigger than life was blown away by this guy that's how I want to look when I get older. So right then and there I decided that I will someday posses a physique to be proud of and that would also inspire others, the same way Steve Reeves inspired my Dad.
I never looked back and actually seriously started training when I was thirteen in my garage.

Today is is number Forty-seven for me and I have to say I don't feel any different than I did when I was twenty.Well OK lets be honest, after thirty-four years of hitting the iron there is a difference, a big difference. The difference is I look better, feel better,and best of all appreciate every second of my life more than I ever did when I was a kid.

Rodd Thunderheart said… - Forgot to tell you.. though you may have already concluded. I'm going to stay in the natural BB class and enter Muscle Model too. I still can't believe my 'trusted' friend (he's NOT no more..)( advised me to use a banned substance.. Thank god common sense prevailed.. What can you tell me about posing routine(s)? What do I need to know? Any chance you'd be showing up in Cowtown on October 17th?

- Well sir you make a very compelling argument for staying.. I'll let you know later today what I have decided. I gotta admit it'd be pretty satisfying to at least do it once just to say I did it.. which would already be above the 'gym junky' who tried compete in 'regular' BB and then quit because he felt he wasn't good enough.. Thanks for the advice!!

- Thanks Micheal. I will say again, I tried to tell Jeff I'm just not comfortable competing in Natural Bodybuilding. I'd prefer Muscle Model and I'm not really shooting for what would be achievable in BB.. It's why I fired my nutrionist.. he wanted me to take diuretics a week before the contest (something I'm not comfortable doing..) and he told me not to drink water about three days b-4 contest. Again I'm not comfortable with that either.. I'd just rather walk out after the last 12 weeks work and that's it.. I really don't like the apparent prep in this.. I'd REALLY rather just switch to muscle model category...
