There was a time not so long ago that bodybuilding was synonymous with friendship, solidarity and partnership, today, thanks to the Internet, these values \u200b\u200bare retrieved

You know, allow familiarity, those who know my work, I do not usually talk about personal issues .... but the chance it deserves. Through my work done on the Facebook page "The History of Bodybuilding English" I could make friends with champions and enthusiasts of the sport who deserve my deepest gratitude and admiration for his kindness, solidarity and camaraderie. These traits of human behavior had punctuated the bodybuilding of the 60, 70, 80 and 90. Men like Salvador Ruiz, Jaime Gallostra, Adolfo Robles, José Viñas or Baldo Lois, all great champions of English culture, told me that the most interesting and rewarding, years as a competitive athlete, was the existence of a great camaraderie between them that made each tournament an unforgettable experience.
in recent decades seems to competitive bodybuilding has become a race where the individual and selfish traits mentioned above, are conspicuous by their absence. The great champion of the Assumption Eduardo told me a few weeks ago, I did not understand that today the competitor onto the platform, poses, and leaves at the end of its category, without waiting to see the other athletes. That never happened before because they were comrades and enjoyed the work of other colleagues.
These Recently I thought the camaraderie builder had completely disappeared ... almost.
As you know I just finished filming the documentary "Yerro Francisco, The Myth", I had to interview many famous figures of English culture, Fernanda Gómez, Salvador Ruiz, Rafael Santonja, Alberto García, Carlos Florez, Lucio Doncel Vicente Mena, Ana Rose Estepa, Paloma Ramos, Jorge Serrano, Alfonso Gomez, Victor Barrios, Adolfo Robles, José Viñas, Virginia Sanchez, Jose Cano. All have been to me an exquisite, a commendable altruism, even one of them, like Jaime Gallostra, I received at home as a child, without knowing me.
few days ago I walked in Elche, in the Campus VII Training, organized by Emilio Martínez. Emilio specially treated us, let us enter your home to feel one of his family, offering typical dishes of the land to stake out their generosity and expertise.
Today, on the train, on the way home, I write this article. Vengo de León. Come to attend a seminar of the 1986 junior world champion Arturo Garcia, was 11 years since we met, but we are bodybuilders, bodybuilders we receive the witness of the aforementioned champions, bodybuilders understand that our sport is a conjunction of symmetry, proportion and art, bodybuilders to meet again after more than a decade, again, we have embraced and loved ones. And is that bodybuilding is a really family that endures beyond the days, months or years. It was an unforgettable experience. Listen to Arturo Garcia shows that my theory is true, the great champions are great intellectuals. The big builders are, no doubt. As I said, the seminar was developed in Leon, this beautiful and noble city, with medieval spirit, full of art, culture and history. Two friends: Pilar Valladares, natural bodybuilder with a very aesthetic and proportionate development, and David Savic, a great enthusiast of the sport and Febus Agency employee, I've met through my work of "the English Bodybuilding History", have served as the city hosts teaching me, leading me to idyllic villages, like the Polvazares Castrillo , where ancient architecture reminds us of times past, and where the typical cuisine cooked Maragato lays out its delicacy. Pilar and David have made me feel like part of your family, both have shown me that the camaraderie builder is still alive and kicking, although it seems that many have forgotten. I think if we all do our bit we can get that quality that marks a time when the major in bodybuilding was the symmetry, aesthetics, proportion, narrow waist and camaraderie.
