I met Boris at the International Grand Prix in Larvik, Norway in May. The guy was monsteriosly huge and sweapt us all away as he won both the +100 kg and the overall class…

As I was talking to Boris backstage, I realised he is a down to earth, crazy and fun guy who seemed to take at least this competition lightly.

After a lot of e-mailing back and forth I decided Boris is well worth to do a profile on, he is not just hilarious, but a great sportsman with some big wins in his past.

I'd love to share some of the e-mails and attachments I've got from him with you guys, but sorry I think I'll keep them to myself... *smile*

Quick facts on Boris!

Listens to: My favourite band is "Böhse Onkelz" but I also like many different kind of heavy metal music like Rammstein and Sheer terror, sometimes Papa Roach or Puddle of Mud. Just everything what makes me aggressive for training.

Motto in life: Die with your boots on...

Then how did you end up becoming a 3 time German Heavy weight Champion in bodybuilding?
Long story, but anyway when I started bodybuilding at an age of 17, I was sure that I wanted to enter bodybuilding contests, I had always been competing in track´n field so there was no question.

Since I improved very fast I wanted to start in the junior class. This never happened because every year I prepared for competition, some bad shit kicked me out.
The first year my thyroid failed working and I had it surgically removed. So I had to stop training for almost 6 months.
Next year, I was already in very good shape, I ripped my adductors. Again 3 months of no training.
Then I was too old for starting in the junior class. So I decided to put on some more mass to do fine in the senior classes.

After another year of hard training I ripped of the cartilage on the backside of my kneecaps while doing squats with 300 kg. This was so bad that I could hardly walk 500m and it stayed this way! So I thought that´s it for your contest Boris and reduced my bodyweight to very ripped 95 kg which I felt comfortable with and continued training. I didn´t think of competing anymore.
After about a year a friend of mine (a very good doctor) called me and said he had something for me so that I can train harder again. He shot artifical joint liquid into both knees and I got much better (I need theese shots every 3 months forever). But because it was still hurting while training I kept my bodyweight down and didn´t want to compete.

Wow man, you've had your share of injurise for several of lifetimes, so how DID finally end up on stage?
Well a few months after this my business partner called me and asked "Boris how do you look?".
I responded that I look they way I always look with my 95 kg (very ripped glutes and everything...). Then he continued "I just asked because I signed you in for German Championships in 4 weeks." I thought it was a joke, but it wasn´t! So I upped my intensity for the next 4 weeks and took my first Ggerman title.

The next year I simply did it again and won! At this point I didn´t want to do German Championships anymore. The next year I was invited to a contest with quite a lot of price money, so I signed in and started preparing... Three days before the contest I got a phonecall saying "sorry Boris there is no contest".
I was pretty angry because I was already deloading and so god will, the same weekend was German Championships. And because I was just ready I signed in for it and won again!
Just like that, huh!?

What inspirers you to keep up the good work?
I do not need any special motivation because the training is a part of me. There is never the question for me "hmm...will I train today?" It´s just like breathing. You simply do so without thinking of it. I can´t go without it!

I know you are a crazy dude with a big smile on your face. Are you always in a happy mood or are you mortal as the rest of us?? =)
Definitly I´m not always happy. I´m just happy when I can do my job. Always when I get a little bit moody I go to the gym, have a hardcore leg workout until I drop and puke my soul out on the toilet and afterwards I feel dead, but good again. That´s just what I need for "therapy"!!

Can you tell us the craziest thing you've ever done? Hmmm...hard to say, I think I do a lot of things most people would consider crazy which are quite normal for me.
I just live in my own world with my own rules and values and don´t think very much about what other people think about what I´m doing. I just always live for the moment.
I think your doing it right too!
