Most shredded man in the world | Helmut Strebl workout

Bodybuilder Helmut Strebl was born in 1969. His height is 191 cm. In the offseason, the bodybuilder’s weight reaches 97, and during performances at competitions – 89 kg. The percentage of subcutaneous fat in an athlete does not exceed four percent.

Helmut was deservedly called a relief man. This bodybuilder, among others, is distinguished by honed muscles and a minimum percentage of subcutaneous fat. An athlete can achieve a similar result due to a special approach to the training process. Having exchanged the fifth dozen, he feels great and does not cease performing at various competitions.

Helmut Strebl

The professional bodybuilder career for Strebl is not limited solely to participation in competitions. He actively keeps a diary of his workouts, and also conducts classes on an individual basis. Helmut has an outstanding athletic figure and perfect proportions and therefore is an excellent motivating example for many bodybuilders. Realizing his own importance, Helmut has not stopped working on himself for more than thirty years.

For his success, Strebel is “obliged” to his school years. As a twelve-year-old boy, he stood out for his thinness and weakness, and therefore often became the object of ridicule from his peers. This motivated the guy to start working on himself. As the first training projectile, Helmut, being a boy, used five-liter bottles filled with water.

The guy liked strength training. Thanks to his own efforts, he was able to quickly catch up with the hooligans who teased him at school. In the gym, Strebl came only at the age of sixteen. As Helmut says, he managed to “create” his polished relief body as a result of years of training and without the use of any drugs.

The philosophy of Helmut Strebel

Human relief strictly follows certain rules, of which there are only six:

1. Always be warm.

2. Do your best in the workouts for one hundred percent power.

3. It is imperative to ensure that the body is in the correct position and that the body is stabilized.

4. Breathe correctly.

5. Every minute, watch your own physical fitness.

6. Stick to one clearly worked out a plan.

These principles are followed by Strebel in his entire career.

In preparation for the competition, I am doing everything possible to achieve 4% of subcutaneous fat – its peak. This means that I reduce the consumption of carbohydrates and slightly increase the consumption of fat. I also try to turn on cardio on a bicycle for about a month before the tournament starts. Each of the cycles during preparation lasts four days. In the first three days, carbohydrate intake is in the range of 150-200 grams, which are divided into four meals. On the fourth day of the cycle, carbohydrate consumption increases to 300-400 grams. At the end of the four-day cycle, a new one comes, but already with a high intake of protein.
