Taking your first mighty steps into bodybuilding depends on you and around you.

When OnCe Tr was 17 years old had to pass through his first heavy test in bodybuilding. He contested in Junior Category along Talara Province (Piura, Peru) . “I was the youngest among all them up to that day,” he remembers. He did it very well – he got the second place.
“My parents and my uncle
motivated me to do it, so achieving experience.” Only for the record, the uncle
he refers to is the pro bodybuilder and South American champion José escobar.
Just one year before, at 16,
he has started his training in this
discipline, but he already brought the
experience from other disciplines he had doing before. Muay Thai among
them. “Because before I didn’t like the fitness world much, but I began to
train from nothing, then I held on this,” he affirms.
At the moment we post this
entry, OnCe Tr is 19 years old, 5.7 feet height, 170 lbs weight. He’s plenty
focused in bodybuilding, he started to work as a trainer and a personal trainer at Séco’s Gym, his parents’ facility in Los Organos,
one of the cities in the Talara Beaches Circuit, Northwestern Peru.
It’s “a part of the process”
From Monday to Saturday, his
days begin at 7:00 in the morning. His first work is training other
people. Afternoons are dedicated to him training his own body. After 10:00 at
night, OnCe is already in the bed.
“It’s hard because standing
so much time inside one only place is stressful, but it’s for a purpose, so I
assume it as a part of the process.” That doesn’t mean he leave to amuse in his
free time: “I
like to go out eating with friends, going to the beach, or sometimes playing
video-games.”
And when you are 19 years
old, friends try you many times to get out the rule once a time. Your will power comes in there.
“If I have no time, then I say I can’t, or if it’s something I don’t like, I
say I don’t like or not for now.”
Motivation comes from home
OnCe Tr works out as a
bodybuilder, in his own words, because he likes it. But that affection has been
influenced by a bodybuilder dad and a mom who involved into fitness by the
motivation of OnCe’s dad, Rigoberto Paredes a.k.a. el Séco.
Although it’s not a general rule, wouldn’t it logical if your parents are
athletes, you end to be an athlete?
For sure, OnCe didn’t want to
do anything with the bodybuilding in the beginning, despite the pushing of his
parents. “I remember once upon a day I said them when they sign me up in a
martial arts academy, I enter the gym that day.” The wish was granted. But OnCe
also had to accomplish his part of the deal. “I entered the gym that day
ignoring I settled it down.”
His parents’ support has been
total. In return, OnCe support them by working at the gym. And that support extends to what is already
his sports career.
To be strong
Regarding, his friends think
OnCe has gained something like a lottery: “They say I’m lucky for having
parents so because it seems they give me all, but that’s not so – I simply live
quiet, that’s it.”
OnCe sustains you must be
strong on what you want. He has it more than clear in his case: “Following up
on my own, because when something gets inside your head, you must not leave
despite anyone bloks you to do what you want.”
