David is originally from Belgium and has been living
in the US for 6 years now. While a student in Belgium he was involved in
gymnastics, karate and theater in high school. Although he did not involve
himself in weight training, the gymnastics and karate during high school was
a good start to develop the physique you see in these images. During his
summers he was a youth counselor at camp where he would arrange various
sports and entertainment activities for the children.
David is now an actor, and works with kids during the weekends. He continues
to develop his physique doing resistance movements as well as continuing his
gymnastics training. He works out 6x a week following the routine outlined
in the upcoming paragraphs.
In August 1999, John Mitchell (host of this site and photographer) was out
in Los Angeles working with clients when he came over to David and asked him
to take some test shots while he was doing his daily workout in the Venice
Sand Pit. Over the next two days for few hours each day they worked together
around various Venice backdrops. The pictures came out great and were posted
on this page until our recent update.
That year David said: "I enjoyed working with John and although he is a
very serious person when it comes to his work, I got him to lighten up a few
times and take some "fun crazy" shots with me. Since I had not
been photographed before to develop a portfolio book, I did not know what to
expect but I was most pleased with the outcome of the shots. When I went
home to visit my family the shots arrived a week later and they were a big
hit with the family and friends. Going to be using some of these images now
in my model portfolio book. I can highly recommend anyone looking to develop
a model/fitness portfolio to contact John.
Today he says: "I'm baaaaack! (Daver is a joker) Also John, I want to
thank you for your time and work. It really paid off; I have been able to
use my portfolio professionally. John who now is my friend told me he'd be
back in the summer of 2000 for another session; I told him I'd be
ready".
Well, what an amazing make over David pulled on john. Two months prior to
the shoot and for the first time, David trained with weights. The result
was… let's use John's words: "Oh my God, David… wow!" Followed
by a ten seconds blank. For the next five days, John and David drove across
town (Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice & Marina Del Rey) taking photographs
from the nicest backgrounds Southern California has to offer, and now
offered to you on this very site.
My Work Out
Before I do any of my daily routines you will find me
doing various stretching warm up exercises and general gymnastics. I do not
lift weights but use my own weight as resistance along with 7# and 10# ankle
and wrist weights for added resistance. You may run into me doing my daily
workouts at the "Sand Pit" at Muscle Beach.
On day one I do various gymnastic moves that accentuate the chest, triceps,
shoulders and abs. I use the parallel bars doing handstands, dips and
pushups. The movements I do to train the chest, triceps and shoulders are
considered all pushing type exercises. For my abs I use the parallel bars
doing "L-shape" dips with 7# ankle weights on each ankle for added
weight resistance. Continue working the abs by doing sit-ups and leg rises
afterwards.
Biceps and back are trained on the second day. Climbing the ropes in the
sand pit and doing pull up on the rings are great ways to build up the
bicep. Look at the bicep peak I developed doing these type of exercises! I
do high bar pull-ups and chin-ups to exercise my back.
On the third day I work my legs; squats, lunges, some running in soft sand,
calves raises, jumping, back flipping etc. The following three days are a
repeat of the previous three. I give the sand and the equipment a rest on
the seventh day.
Here is my diet that I have been following that has been successful for me.
Note that I work out after two meals; my energy level is higher then. For
breakfast I eat either 5 egg whites and bread, or milk and cereal when I
don't have time or patience to cook. For lunch I have anything healthy like
soup, bread and turkey breast or pasta or salad. Because I have a fast
metabolism I can eat sweets (I have a very sweet tooth) such as cookies for
the added sugar necessary that my body needs for my workouts. Dinner
consists of PROTEIN; after a work out, that's all you need. Chicken or steak
assorted meats with vegetables or a salad rich in tuna or more egg whites.
In the evening I may have a yogurt and a banana.
I have varied interests besides working out. I like European techno music,
dancing, variety of movies from romantic stuff, comedies to action, and
socializing with close friends. Also, Sly Stallone rules in my book!
With the new portfolio John has done this past summer I already have caught
the attention of a L.A. fitness agent. I am here, I want more! Please
