Guy Grundy

NAME: Guy Grundy — Most people call me “Grundy” which is fine by me!

AGE: 41
WEIGHT: 230
HEIGHT: 6’0

AGE BEGAN TRAINING:
I began my training in boxing and bodybuilding at the age of 9. I have been consumed with
being muscular and tough since birth, I think!

WHY DID YOU START TRAINING:
I was small and insecure and I was bullied a great deal due to my size. I have wanted to be big and muscular ever since I can remember. I saw a Muscular guy at a surf Carnival in Australia that I was competing in. I saw him walking along the beach and everyone‐-including me– just stared at him. I said to myself, “Damn, I want people looking at me like that!” … And rest is history!

BODYBUILDING TITLES:
Two time Mr. Australia, IFBB & NABBA, Two time Runner Up World Championships. I was the first person to claim both Titles at that point in my career. I took second on Debut at the World hampionships in Vienna, Austria. I had $20 in my pocket! It was an amazing time in my life. It showed me what hard work and determination can do!

NUMBER OF DAYS PER WEEK YOU TRAIN:
I have tried every system of training during my career! I now favor 3 times a week or every other day! I do a lot of MMA and stunt fighting, so I have to ensure I don’t run myself down, over train or injure myself. If you’re injured, you can’t improve. So, I am very aware of how hard I push myself now a days! 3 times a week with a rest day in between produces the best results for me!

YOUR BODY PART SPLIT
TRAINING MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY — ABS EVERY WORKOUT
DAY ONE: Chest, shoulders and triceps
DAY TWO: Back, Traps and Biceps
DAY THREE: Legs, Quads, Hams & Calves

SAMPLE BODYPART ROUTINE

I do a lot of stretching between sets as I find this really helps separate the muscles and helps increase growth and of course it’s a great way to prevent against injury!

FACTOID
I have always wanted to be just like Arnold!!! I grew up on Arnold and Stallone! This is the reason I came to America.

I’ve had acting roles in CSI New York, The Deadliest Warrior and Shutter Island. I have lead roles in two feature films coming out in late 2012. The first is The Lackey starring Vernon G. Wells of Commando & Mad Max fame! The other is called Shark Proof. I worked with the Legendary comedian John Lovitz on this film & we have a Very Cool Aussie style scene we created together that people will enjoy!

I work with and am trained by the US Military which has really helped my acting career. I am also a stunt man and fight choreographer!

I contribute a great deal of my success to Bodybuilding as my look is purely from years of working under the heavy iron as a bodybuilder. It taught me discipline, hard work and patience! I owe a great deal to Bodybuilding. It has helped mold me into the man I am today!

Acting aside, my favorite role is being a father to my ten year old daughter, Jesse. She is my Little Princess and the light of my life!
