King Kreusch Rules!

King Kreusch Rules!

SHANE KREUSCH IS KING WHEN IT COMES TO DOMINATING THE MASTERS DIVISION.

Although he also retained his Masters title in his first show of 2018, the Physical Culture Association’s Conrad Nagel Xtreme Classic, the 42-year-old gym owner from King William’s Town is also the first to admit that without the discipline and sacrifices he has made to reach the top, he would not have achieved success.

Shane, what does the sport mean to you?

Bodybuilding is part of my genetics and will be until my last breath. It's a sport in which you get out what you put in. When I was in school I was teased about how thin I was, so I started lifting weights to boost my self-esteem. I soon realised that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Now I know of no other way to live. Bodybuilding is an art to be practiced with patience, dedication and obsession. It takes immense mental and physical effort to improve your condition through training and dieting. To achieve the desired look for the stage you have to put in the time and totally commit yourself to hard work 24/7.

You raked in a phenomenal seven wins as part of your comeback to the competitive stage in 2017. What is the secret to your success?
