The Npl Fitness His Cover Model Search Winner Has Been Crowned!
REMEMBER THAT NAME BECAUSE YOU’RE GOING TO BE HEARING A LOT MORE OF IT IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME.
This talented Zimbabwe-born physique athlete beat the other 76 ripped and muscular Fitness His readers who entered, to win the inaugural NPL cover model search competition.
As a top sprinter and rugby player, he certainly has the ideal genetic potential and muscle fibre composition needed to build a cover-worthy physique. And by the quality of his cover shoot photos, you can be sure that he also has the dedication, drive, perseverance and will needed to fully exploit that genetic potential. Anthony has now signed his 12-month sponsorship contract with one of South Africa’s fastest growing supplement brands, which further builds on the industry profile he’s gained after his breakthrough win at the 2017 Musclemania Championships. The only way is up for this promising and hugely talented athlete. With that, here’s all you need to know about NPL-sponsored body builder Anthony Sikanadze...
Tell us a bit about yourself. What do you do for a living and what are your interests?
I'm a finance clerk by day and a push-up enthusiast by night. I enjoy the challenges I face on a day-to-day basis in the office and the self-imposed challenges I take on in the gym. This lifestyle keeps me active both mentally and physically. I'm interested in improving myself in all aspects so I look to challenges as an opportunity to develop.
How did you get involved in the fitness industry?
I played a lot of sports at a young age. When I got involved in rugby I began to exercise in the gym, which was the start of a new journey for me, fuelled by the desire to improve my physique. It's a drive that has never left me and I've been training in the gym ever since.
