He still plays his X-Box, still rides
his motor cross bike and looks after
his mind and body with incorporat-
ing yoga and fitness into the weekly
regime. This was the way that
Nathan kept his mental strength and
drive to not give in on his diet prep,
and keep pushing, if he kept his life
as normal and fun as possible then
that takes away most of the mental
stress of what he was doing, “after
all, bodybuilding and training is
supposed to be fun”.
The Legacy
Nathan has already carved out a
legacy for Liverpool by becoming a
world-renowned bodybuilder and
athlete, but he is well aware that
isn’t the biggest and nor is he trying
to be. His goal is to bring back the
achievable and healthy look of great
lines and symmetry to the stage.
Knowing that this will prove less
stress on his physical system, it
gives him and other athletes that
strive for the same goal, longevity in
the sport.
To Nathan however, there is a
much more real and important
legacy that he is focussed on…. his
children.
De Asha wants to ensure he
provides the father figure he never
had, and life he never experienced.
For them to be proud of him and
demonstrate clearly, that no matter
what you want to be, no matter
where you are from, “You can be
anything you want to be”.
Along side trying to be the best
father he can be, Nathan has one
last bodybuilding tip for all aspiring
athletes:
“ God has
a plan
for you,
believe in
yourself”.
