Helmut Strebl Biography

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.

Principles of Nutrition

Fitness athlete Helmut Strebl snacks six to seven times a day. The protein is necessarily added to every meal. Most often it is an omelet, white fish, and dietary meats (turkey, chicken, rabbit, and beef). Strebel uses potatoes and brown rice to replenish carbohydrates. In the evening, the proportion of carbohydrates is less.

Four weeks before the start of the competition, Helmut gradually increases the percentage of carbohydrates in his diet. For four days Helmut Strebl brings the number of nutrients from 100 to 400 g per day and then starts the cycle anew. To reduce the body fat percentage to 4, he consumes fewer carbohydrates, but the fat content increases.
