Interview With Lukas Gabris – Pro-10 Sponsored Athlete

Lukas Gabris is a NABBA Mr Britain title holder, and will be competing in the Spanish Amateur Arnold Classic in 2014.

 

I first met Lukas Gabris at the 2013 NABBA North Britain. I had heard guys in the gym speak about a monster of a man who had previously trained in the gym. Rumours of him being so big that he would take up the entire steam room were not uncommon, however I had not seen Lukas before. When i met Lukas Gabris backstage at the NABBA North Britain, these rumours were instantly confirmed as truth. I often receive compliments for the size of my legs, however on this night I felt like a small child. Think Goten compared to Brolly. In laymens terms, i felt like a bitch.

However hulk-like physique aside, Lukas surprised me by being friendly, approachable and helpful. Since first meeting with Lukas I have had the privilege of training with him, receiving advice from him and following his training and contest prep over on his Facebook page. A big thank you to Lukas Gabris, sponsored pro-10 athlete, for taking time of of his busy schedule to be with us today.

LG: I was competing at the UKBFF British finals where I placed top 6 which allowed me to compete at the Arnold. This is at my own cost because only the winner gets the whole trip financed by the UKBFF

There are few shows that meant a lot to me, however the NABBA British tall class title was very emotional (thank you Eddy)

As a skinny and weak boy, I always wanted to be more muscular. Bodybuilding is something that, you either like it or you dont, and I was in love with bodybuilding since I can remember. As i grew a little older older all I wanted to do was become a bodybuilder.

People are asking me if im still enjoying doing bodybuilding. People continue to ask me “are you not big enough?” My answer to these questions is simple. Im passionate about bodybuilding and I love it so what better motivation do you need?:) However I want to become professional and stand on Olympia stage one day. That goal is what is giving me motivation and drive to keep training hard and keep competing.

After my first contest in my home country. The show was the Junior Slovakian Championship. I placed 3rd and I knew this will be my life.

Everything works around bodybuilding. Even in my ‘day job’ I advise people with diet nutrition and provide online training and PT one on one. If I don’t work I chill nothing exotic ;). But one think for sure my brain never stops working. I think a lot

Eddy Ellwood and John Hodgson

I always change my training around. I rotate between heavy weights low reps and then high volume reps when supersetting.

My training never changes I always train same way all year round the only thing changing is cardio and calorie intake.

Pre contest i have slightly less calories and off season I eat the same way same food but in bigger quantities.

Yes thats true. I suppose it is all the years of training and practice. I can push my pain barrier further. My control of breathing is better through years of training, and I can focus well listening to music.  What comes down has to go up. Simple.

Along with bodybuilding, you also offer personal training. What are some of the most common mistakes you see noobies making in the gym?

Same mistakes I use to do. Lifting to heavy sacrificing form and over training.

I don’t have cheat meal during the preparation. I work with more or less of the sources of food which is in my diet already. Cheating calls cheating for a reason wining calls winning for a reason too.

Pro-10 are great. They looking after me really well. My work with them involves promotional work like expos, in store promotions and some photo shoots.

Im loyal to Pro-10 and find they have everything i could need.
Whey protein isolate
Time release protein
Bcaas
L-glutamin
Maltodextrin
Creatine

For anyone wanting to try and add the amount of muscle mass you’ve been able to do, what tips and advice would you share with them?

Eat 3g protein per 1kg bodyweight. Eat 4-5g carbs per 1 kg bodyweight. Eat 1g fats per 1kg bodyweight. Eat every 2.5 – 3hours. Train like a beast. If you want results, act like it.

Well we will not talk about the mentality because I am use to completely different food. But the UK has gave me a lot more then i could ever imagine I’ve met lots great people here.

I want to turn IFBB professional but as a perfectionist I want to be a better person in every possible aspect, because there is always room for improvements. My motto is stay humble and never forget where you came from.
