Earl Abrahams

 

Earl “BEAST” Abrahams won the Arnold Classics Africa overall in 2016 where he turned IFBB Pro.

When we asked The BEAST what he enjoyed training and what other hobbies he took part in, his response was rather simple, “I really enjoy lifting heavy stuff and putting it down, Fishing is another hobby I really enjoy but only when the fish bite and cricket I like that its fun”.

 

Achievements Earl has accomplished in his career,

2014 amateur Olympia Heavyweight Champ IFBB

2015 South African IFBB heavyweight champ and placed 5th at the IFBB worlds.

 

We asked earl what his ideal dream job would be, and well he is living his dream.

“My dream job would have to be a job in the fitness industry, haha so that being said that would have to be my everyday job as a Personal trainer at motion fitness in Worcester, Western Cape, I really enjoy my job because I get to help other people reach their goals and do what I love everyday. I'm also the Bossman at Beauty and Beast Fitnuts, which is my online coaching business”

 

His goals in life “taking over the world... No but really...to become a top pro bodybuilder”.

Gordon Stevens

 

Gordon, a previously skilled, motivated and super-fit personal trainer, had an accident leaving him in a coma for three and half weeks.

 

“When I woke up I was traumatised. My body felt broken all over.” Gordon had broken his collar bone, shattered both femurs, punctured a rib and kidney and was in critical condition for 10 days before the doctors induced a coma. A week after he woke up, he had a 9 hour long spinal and leg fusion surgery. “I remember it being 4am and I was lying wide awake not being able to move, with only my thoughts”.

 

Gordon’s preciously active lifestyle looked

like an impossible reality. “Doctors and specialists said I would never walk straight, or be able to bend over, or train other people and do any form of weight training”. What could have led to a bitter end, Gordon took as a chance to meet the challenge in front of him. “I could choose to be negative and not get better, or be positive and grateful to be alive and breathing. My faith and connection with God grew stronger – I didn’t have anything else.”

Mind Over Matter

 

Gordon worked on himself a little bit each passing day and grew stronger and stronger in his determination. “I went from strength to strength and through hard times and obstacles; I didn’t give up”.

 

Recovering from a life-altering incident requires a huge amount of support from those around you. You’re not going to feel strong every day; so on those days you doubt yourself it’s good to have someone to lean on. For Gordon, it was his family – in particular, his mother, father and sister. “They have held me every step of the way. They taught me unconditional love and always believed in me.”

 

“Being inspiring and motivational to others is part of my goal. I want people to realise they can do anything they set their hearts on.” To this end, Gordon has developed a brand called TeamStevens300 where he is continuously expanding his team of personal trainers and promoting his method of training and diet. Giving back to society sees Gordon working with children at the House of Grace Orphanage in Durbanville. “I want to make a difference in not just my life, but those around me too”.

 

Starting a fitness journey when you don’t feel capable can be difficult. His advice is “don’t give up; consistency is key and it will be worth it in the end. Make sure you set realistic goals and have a plan to put into action. Have a reward system. It’s so important to treat yourself for achieving your goals.”
