His name is King Kamali and he is one of the newest IFBB Pros, ready to take on the ranks at the 2001 IRONMAN and Arnold Classic. Hello dear friends. Today I have the opportunity to interview a bodybuilder that wants to make major damage in all the pro shows that he will compete in. His name is King Kamali and he is one of the newest IFBB Pros, ready to take on the ranks at the 2001 IRONMAN and Arnold Classic. His nickname is "Terminator" and you can easily understand this nickname when looking at his pictures. As a competitive bodybuilder, he has been the featured guest poser and/or honored speaker at several local, regional, and national competitions, where his distinctive one of a kind posing and knowledge of kinesiology and sports nutrition have been utilized. He truly loves the sport of bodybuilding and has spent many years training and studying to become an expert on this subject. Even with all of the ups and downs that come with the iron sport, he has become even more involved with this wonderful and brutal sport and King Kamali has discovered that his enthusiasm has steadily increased. Although King Kamali is a new professional in the IFBB, he has already built a strong fan base and he will do his best to stay true to the hardcore bodybuilding community. King Kamali's Interview! [ Q ] King, in just a few weeks you will compete in the very prestigious lFBB lronman Pro lnvitational, and shortly later, in the Arnold Classic which is the second most important bodybuilding show on earth. What do you expect from these two bodybuilding competitions, and with what place, in both shows, would you feel satisfied with yourself? K.K. I expect to be at my absolute best for the Ironman Pro. This is my Pro debut, and in my opinion, a very strong showing will push me to the head of the pack as far as the new professionals go. I'm not even considering the top ten in the world as of now. My mission is to push Chris Cormier & Lee Priest to the limits at the Ironman and bring the house down at the Arnold. Top 5 at the Classic and I will satisfied. The most important factor is that I need to get a major sponsor after these two shows. I will not compete again without one! [ Q ] I will continue my questions by talking a little bit more about the two contests you will compete in. I saw on your site that you "warn" your opponents about your current condition which you referred to as "bone dry", even though you are 4 weeks away from your first show. I also observed that every 2 weeks you put some new pics on your site in order for everyone to see your current condition. Do you believe that this is the right "tactics of the game"? Since every one of your opponents can see how you look now, just a few weeks before the show, do you think that you might "risk" too much by revealing your current condition sooner than you should?
[ Q ] I read in your site that your training style is like powerlifting and bodybuilding. (More precisely you named it "powerbuilding"). A few lines later you say: "Never ever sacrifice quantity for quality. Be real with the poundages you use. Don't be a guest poser in the gym, trying to show-off will only result in serious injuries, and that is the biggest downfall for all bodybuilders trying to make big gains". About this statement, I would like to ask you, how "careful" can someone be in order to avoid injuries when he is doing 800 pound deadlifts for reps as you have mentioned you are able to lift?
[ Q ] If you had the opportunity to change only one thing in the sport of bodybuilding in order to make it even more well-known to the public what would it be and why?
When I turned Pro, EVERYONE told me not to charge more then $500.00 to $800.00 for guest posing. They said no one will hire me for anything more than that.... PLEASE. and I am suppose to be the best poser in bodybuilding. I did not listen and set my standards much higher than what was recommended, and you know what, it worked. Supply and demand, it's worked from day one and it will keep working. I will make my mark at the Arnold Classic and I promise they will come with the offers, but, I will not accept anything that I would feel is disrespectful as a professional athlete. I proved to myself and the world that I can do it on my own but there does come a time where enough is enough. [ Q ] Ok, it's time for my last question to you King. From what I know, you are training very hard for your current contests, you are eating plenty of protein, you are sleeping around 8-10 hours every day, but what about your supplementation? What supplements do you currently use and trust?

Till my next interview, take care all. |
