I am Harish(III year/EEE) SNS College of Engineering . I wish to share my experience of me becoming, Mr.Coimbatore Fitness Champion- 2017. My interest in Education and sports both goes hand in hand with each other.I got 90 % in 12th std (AAMG Govt HSC).
Fitness competition
Fitness competition is different from Body Building; another name is physique and modelling. Fitness competition is a class of physique-exhibition events for men and women. Its emphasis is on muscle definition not size.
Rules and Regulations
- Judges will be looking for fit contestants who display proper shape and symmetry combined with muscularity and overall condition (this is not a bodybuilding contest so extreme muscularity should be marked down)
- Stage Presence and Personality
- Judges look for the contestant with the best stage presence
My Tricks of the Trade
- First step I picked my show of competition. Develop my off-season training program.
- I followed a nutrient diet (nuts ,soya, milk, eggs, chicken etc) in the off season. Eating every three to four hours and took lot of protein it helps to build the more muscles.
- I worked cardio two or three times a week for 20-30 minutes at a time.
- I kept accurate records in my training journal. I heard different songs for motivation.
- I trained over my suits and my posing routines.
Last Two Months to Competition
- I started rehearsing on my mandatory poses
- My competition diet started that time .I totally avoided the “junk foods”
- I increased my protein intake. I did my cardio 30 minutes a day
- Took pictures doing each mandatory poses, to register my progress step by step
- After workout , I stretch my worked muscles
- I registered for competition . I made travel arrangements
- My training center—Muthu Health and Fitness Gym, Annur.

Lessons from the road to sucess
I participated in many competitions State level. I was not successful in that level. But I won the title of the Mr.Coimbatore Fitness Champion. That was turning point my life.
- I learnt how to participate with the experienced bodybuilders.
- My appearance is different from others so made it a advantage.
- How to expose my styles and poses. It’s very important in competition
- I challenge the financial type of problems, when I participate on a stage time
- How to prepare for a standard competition.
Challenges and Aims
- The competitive bodybuilding lifestyle isn’t cheap, especially for physique competition. I take time to map out a budget and accessories.
- I wish to achieve many titles in the Fitness category- National and International . The Journey of physique competition is probably the toughest, but still wish to take the road ahead. Email—harishjo951@gmail.com
