M4:D52 (D352) H.I.T. Body Builder – Sergio Oliva

October 12, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

Sergio Oliva is yet another successful body builder who used H.I.T. to get into great shape.

Sergio started out as an Olympic-style weight lifter.  He represented Cuba in the 1961 Pan American Games in the 198 pound class.  He won the gold medal at those games.  Oliva used his freedom at the games to defect to the United States.  He took the entire Cuban weight lifting team with him.

He was introduced to body building by Bob Gadja.  He took to the body building lifestyle and his muscles grew under the new lifting regimen.

Sergio took the 1966 Mr. World and 1967 Mr. Universe titles and in 1967 he won the Mr. Olympia title.  He was able to defend his Olympia title in 1968, but in 1969 he was upset by Arnold for the Mr. Olympia title.

Oliva actually trained with Arthur Jones in 1971 while getting ready for the Mr. Olympia contest yet again.  He hit the stage bigger than ever before after using H.I.T routines in his training.

This concludes my series on H.I.T. Body Builders.  If nothing else, I hope that it has inspired you to give H.I.T. a try.

Take a look at a typical night time meal for me.  This is what I ate for my 7:30 p.m. meal.

I've been eating chicken thighs at various meals to increase the calories.  That's low fat Ranch dressing on the salad, but it is put on sparingly.  With a nice salad, some great protein from the chicken (along with some fat for calories) and the eggs, and I am set for the day.  It tastes great and puts the calories where they need to be.

Yet another steady state cardio day for me.  I have also been doing foam rolling every single day.  I find that I am much more flexible now that I've foam rolled daily for the past 3 weeks.  I highly recommend foam rolling to everyone who works out.
