Helmut seriously thought about his physical training at the age of 12 years. He was lean and frail, which made him a target of ridicule and prey for bullies. At first, Helmut worked with weights to build mass and be able to protect himself. A peculiar competition with classmates led him to try fitness modeling.
The first pieces of fitness equipment for Helmut were a couple of bottles of detergent filled with water. Homemade dumbbells weighed five kilograms. At 16, the guy finally joined the local gym.
Helmut is not only a professional athlete but also a personal instructor certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. The bodybuilder also finished sports massage courses and has a swimming trainer certificate. Strebel has a diploma in dietology and sports biology. The athlete often gives motivational speeches.
