Statistics

Name: Amer Kamra
Location: Toronto
Age: 24
Height: 6’0
Weight: 193 lbs
Style: Competitor

How did you get started with bodybuilding?

I have always been active in some shape or form since a child. At a young age I earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do, then for many years I played football up until my late teenage years. I had been lifting since about the age of 15 but for sports and not for aesthetics. At the age of about 19 or so I began to compete as a fitness model as I am constantly looking to challenge myself and body.

How does it feel to know you motivate and help others with their fitness/bodybuilding goals?

Coaching athletes and clients is great. I love what I do; I love helping people reach their potential. It is a very rewarding job when you are able to help somebody achieve his or her goals. Sometimes it can be frustrating however but it’s a bit of frustration for a lot of enjoyment. I love to help people realize what they have inside of them. People just need somebody to show them that they have the work ethic, dedication and drive.

What would you say is your greatest achievement yet?

Do you have any short term and long term goals?

I have achieved many of my fitness goals as far as becoming a pro fitness model, landing magazine covers and publications, tv commercials. However my goals have shifted slightly, and now my goal is to continue to help and inspire thousands more of individuals and eventually have my own fitness show. As far as goals for my physique, I want to maintain and just tweak a few body parts, my goal is not to add any more size.

Do you bulk and cut or stay lean all year round?

I try to stay as lean as possible year round. Overall I feel much better, much healthier, and of course I have to be the example that I preach to everybody. Who would listen to or respect somebody who talks but doesn’t do it themselves?

Do you have any favorite music you like to listen to in the gym?

Yes lots of Eminem, rock, rap, house.

Few Quick Questions for our readers:

Favorite color? Hammer Fitness Blue
Favorite food? Calamari
Favorite TV Show? Restaurant Nightmares
Favorite movie? Shawshank Redemption
Favorite Band/Artist? Eminem
Do you have any pets? Yes a dog Mylo!

What is your favorite motivating quote?

“Tears will get you sympathy, sweat will get you results”

Final Words?

Consistency: Always stay consistent, even if you don’t see visible changes after a week or two do not throw in the towel! It takes time to see changes and if every time you don’t see them and you give up how the hell will you ever achieve the body you want?

Intensity: I often see too many people train with a lack of intensity. Go to the gym and make every set, every rep, and every exercise count. Don’t just go through the motions, make sure you really bust your butt and walk out of the gym knowing that you couldn’t have done anymore then you did!

Balance: It took me many years of being in this industry to realize the key is balance. Don’t just be a gym rat and abandon everything in life especially those things that really matter. Find the balance of spending time with those that you love, working out, eating clean, resting but make sure to put 100% effort in to everything that you do. If it is family day, put 100% effort into the day. If it is time to workout, put 100% effort into the gym!

My words to you would be to stay true to yourself, do not BS yourself and lie to yourself. Be honest with yourself and goals, if you want something, and then do everything in your power to get it!

Turn over every stone possible, make sure that everything you do, you do it with 100% of your effort. Utilizing that mindset has really helped me to achieve many of my goals.
