Linford Christie

Video of Linford Christie running days in the 90′s

Two days ago I posted a Linford Christie Plyometrics video and I wanted to continue on that train of thought. Yes Linford has been caught taking performance enhancing drug in 1999 and served a two year ban, but he was already in semi-retirement.

He also tested positive for another stimulant during the 1988 Seoul Olympics, but was cleared by the IOC as they state it came from a permitted substance ginseng. I think without a doubt I believe some form of drugs was prevalent among the usage of top sprinters back then

But despite all that Linford Christie is the epitome of a Greek God in physical form. You can’t deny the fact but in awe at his amazing physique. Nobody starts off looking spectacular and muscular of course silly. Christie was once a skinny lad too and a lot of hard work goes into making that body and that’s what I’m aiming for since I started training

The question is how much of the drugs did help Christie moulding that kind of body. Not as big as a bodybuilder type but just about a nice looking ripped Mr. Fit look. Well we’ll never know but I would like to believe the effort into smart training would pay dividend.

I would highlight smart, as in Singapore you’ll need to juggle work and studies. A place where sports is not exactly encouraged nor frowned upon but Singaporeans just don’t see any future with anything that involves sports

I myself love the outdoors, sports and muscles and I’m not himbo eh. I think if you look good, you’ll feel good. The physical transformation can do wonders to one’s soul. Your wit should compliment one’s body right, well that’s my belief. Well whatever makes you happy, just do it

Linford Christie is my inspiration, so who is yours?
