It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. This is a statement as old as time. So often is it quoted that it almost loses it’s meaning and falls into stereotype – but the fact of the matter is that this statement couldn’t be more universally true. It’s especially true of bodybuilding. Arash Rahbar may be one of the best Classic Physique competitors currently competing – but that doesn’t mean he has “completed” his physique. There is always something that can be improved or some sort of personal imperfection that a bodybuilder may want to change.
In this episode, Arash takes us back through his history of bodybuilding and shows the transformation of his physique through the years. He also meets up with his mother and sister – not only going into his origins as a professional bodybuilder but also as a person and how his past and family has shaped his personality. What kind of person lies behind the muscle and the hard work? What kind of mindset and history creates top tier bodybuilders such as Arash? Watch the full episode above and find out.
Wonderful story, and very motivating. Our sport lives from these. It’s so much more than bubble-gut discussions, drug abuse and supplement rip-offs. Athletes live in different environments, consisting of more than training, and they sometimes pursue other ambitions besides training, e.g. educating themselves. Their background, at least partly, explains why they became who they are. I hope to see more stories like this one in the future, even though Arash’s might be hard to beat. Also, he is very articulate. I’d imagine that comes from reading a lot.
