FREDDY NAIDU IS AN EMERGING STAR |
|
He competed as a bodybuilder turning Pro in Men’s Physique, went to the Olympia, and was invited to the Arnold. Following the course of bodybuilding to its most prestigious shows, Freddy can certainly say he’s been successful as a competitor. In the healthcare world, Freddy earned his masters, moved up the chain, learned the world of regulatory compliance and now works in a healthcare facility as a master project manager at Texas Health Frisco. He has not yet reached the pinnacle of what he can do in this field, but he’s well on his way. Insurance is a family business, where he is a successful licensed insurance agent in the state of Texas. Freddy has also been a DJ for over 20 years to the point where he has created a demand and can select the events he wants to do. As both an insurance agent and a DJ, Freddy has found a level of success that has opened the doors for many more opportunities. |

Rob Berry
NPC Men's Physique Athlete
|
|
Last month, I sat down with Rob Berry to have a conversation about being a cancer survivor and living his life to the fullest. He is an NPC Men's Physique Amateur Athlete, 6'2", 24 years old and in only his 3rd show, Rob won 1st place in the Men's Physique Open Division, Class F at the 2022 NPC Klash Series All South Championships in Orlando, Florida. He is naturally competitive and being an amputee does not define who he is or stop him from chasing his dreams. |

ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECIPES |
|
I love a meal in a bowl and this is one of my favorite recipes. It's so versatile because it's quick, you can use whatever you have in the fridge, and you can make as much or as little of it as you like, the portions are up to you. While I like to make it a meal, you could also serve this anti pasta salad as an appetizer. Of course you can add Italian meats or cheese but then you're moving away from healthy. But again, it's your choice. Enjoy! |

FROM THE PUBLISHER
BODYBUILDING IS MORE THAN JUST LIFTING WEIGHTS
|
|
I was introduced to the sport of bodybuilding 32 years ago when I met my husband while he was practicing his posing for an upcoming show. Since that time, we’ve trained and helped pose hundreds of people take their first step on the bodybuilding stage. For most, the experience begins with shaping their body. No other sport enables you to take charge of yourself in a way where you can measure and see the progress you make sometimes on a daily basis! It’s so cool. What has kept me involved with the sport is that I’ve learned that bodybuilding is so much more than lifting weights. It truly is about being a part of a family of like-minded individuals that can come together in a gym, at a show, at a workshop, almost anywhere and share stories of life changing and sometimes life saving transformations, share both the highs and lows of getting to the stage, celebrate the outcomes and in the process and along the journey make friends that last a lifetime.
Bodybuilding has played such an important part in my life but as I have learned in talking with people in every state I go, the sport has had a positive impact on the thousands of people that compete around the world each year.

From laughter and hugs to celebratory donuts, from trophies and tiaras to achieving hard fought for goals and even making it to the pinnacle of the Olympia stage; every step of the way, is a part of the journey to personal success.
Along the way, more than building muscle, leaning out, and shaping your body, you develop trust, patience, knowledge about yourself, relationships, discipline, respect, and how to overcome challenges and push through. What makes it so great that each of those qualities are earned and carry over to affect every aspect of your life. Each and every athlete gets to experience that all over the world knowing that when they walk into a bodybuilding event they are walking into both something new and something familiar.
Being true to who you are, achieving success through hard work and sweat are character building and that is what bodybuilding has become for me. Sharing the lessons is how Southern Muscle Guide began and I am so excited to bring even more content, feature articles, inspirational stories, exercise and nutrition tips, along with our photo gallery, competition calendar and more in the New Digital Southern Muscle Guide. Look for it the 2nd Sunday of every month.
As always,Wishing You Good Health & Good Training
