“I live sustainable in time inside-to-outside,” Elías Velasco (Lima, Peru, November 21st, 1974)
affirms. Almost turning 49 years old (at the time this entry is posted), the
director, creator, and host of Café
& Conversa, a
Spanish-language streaming TV talk-show, looks like an amazing body, that
highlights from other guys of his generation.
Elías began in bodybuilding
in 1993 like a psychological therapy. A love disappointment, a dismissal in a job
opportunity, and a good friend were the blasting recipe that turned a thin guy,
5.6 feet, 119 lbs, into a128-pound athlete in the lapse of one year.
In 2004, he studied and specialized
in fitness. Later, in 2007, he started contesting in Mister Summer, in Lima, what he wan.
Then, Mister Lima selective came on, what he reached the second place in
classic bodybuilding category (137 lbs, 7% body fat). Ultimately, in the
same category, he got a third place in Mister Peru (141 lbs, 10% body fat).
Bringing down, then being reborning
He couldn’t go ahead in the
competitive field because he took anabolics that activated a bone disease that
reduced him to 108 lbs. elías depressed so much that he almost committed suicide.
In 2008, when he healed in
body and mind, he returned to the gym
but another thinking. He never left it from that moment on, restoring
his physique – his inner peace, over all.
Inclusive, he was summoned to
work as an artistic model in
three times, even, between that year and 2012. Eventually, he played the role
again for one of his shows in 2023 – he continued to look like amazing. At this
entry closed, Elías have scheduled to feature his body for
another art exposition. Meanwhile, the
pictures we present you here, all were produced exclusively for ChulucanasGym.
A new philosophy
“The humankind has built
pretty fragile, easy-to-corrupt personal issues in time because it don’t know
itself, it don’t train inside neither,” elías says to ChulucanasGym.
“People vainly live decorating
the front yard in their lives, but not
generating substantial changes because they hardly negotiate and deal for
living collectively healthy,” he adds.
Elías Velasco affirms the
main benefit of training sustainably in time is having found the balance
between body and mind, at
least speaking by himself.
The power of mind
Training with emotional
intelligence, having reached living inside-to-outside seem to be the break
point, in his words.
“Because you achieve training
and empowering yourself plenty finding harmony, balance, fullness, and a pretty
mighty and clean decision power to live
in health connected to the cosmos, so you apply it into your daily life, then
you will look like strong inside and outside,” he advises.
Additionally, Elías has found
his vocation working in the media, and he is preparing more and more each time,
learning from the guests to his TV show. “We’re what we decide,” he states.
