Bodybuilder Tim Martin chats to ABC News Breakfast "Natural" bodybuilder Tim Martin is a four-time Australian champion and talks about the myths and realities of professional bodybuilding. 4.  Age you started training with weights - workout time and days. I started weight training when I was 16 whilst at school. I was hoping to improve my strength and speed whilst competing as a track sprinter and basketballer. The time of day I train varies during a typical week because I’m on the road but my preference is training early morning after a good night sleep. I find it much easier to eat for the remainder of the day, maximizing recovery. My training routine as it currently stands is; Tuesday – Chest & Triceps Thursday – Back & Biceps Saturday – Delts & Calves Sunday – Quad & Hamstrings 5.  Why you are you a bodybuilder? I enjoy the sport as a whole and the benefits it not only brings to your health but your life as well. The discipline and commitment involved, the sacrifice I find all very rewarding when you achieve not only results on the stage but off it too! As much as I like team sports I never excelled at them like I have with bodybuilding as an individual pursuit! Because you are solely responsible for your performance and the outcomes you are far more accountable and that’s what I love! 6.  How were you introduced to a bodybuilder? Until I started competing in 2002 I never considered myself to be a bodybuilder, rather someone who trained and enjoyed the lifestyle. I was introduced to Nick Boutzos (INBA ACT President) 3 weeks prior to my first show when I went to buy a ticket to watch the show. Long story short Nick refunded my ticket, convinced me to compete on his show and got me ready within 3 weeks. In this my first contest the 2002 INBA ACT state titles, I won the Novice division and then came 3rd overall. So thrilled with the experience and results I caught the competition bug big time and haven’t looked back since! So I would say once I started competing and learning about nutrition and training is when I really became a bodybuilder. 7.  Current contest workout program and diet. My contest workout regime doesn’t change dramatically during a contest prep. I just make sure I work within my limits when on a calorie restricted diet. Last year preparing for the INBA Victorian and Australian Titles I followed a Ketogenic or carb cycling type diet, so high protein, moderate fats and carbohydrates introduced systematically. It worked for me to a degree but after the Australian titles during my preparation for the Olympia I switched back to a more conventional and more balanced diet and have continued to do so since. It’s what works best for my body and is more effective for manipulating my condition coming into a show.
