I am Yukari Kunisue and joining me today in the studio is Mr. Shin Kodama, Japanese bodybuilding champion and bodybuilding and personal trainer. Shin Kodama shares his experience as an effective bodybuilding and physical fitness and health. Hello everyone, I am Yukari Kunisue, a host of Think Tech Hawaii from downtown Honolulu. Today's broadcast is from the Japanese bodybuilding champion, Shin Kodama, and I would like to talk about the topic of bodybuilding. Mr. Shin, thank you for your time today. Thank you for your time. Happy New Year. I am a bodybuilder, and I don't know anything about bodybuilding. Mr. Shin, your bodybuilding is a sport, isn't it? It's a sport. It's called the ultimate sport. The ultimate sport? What do you mean by the ultimate sport? Bodybuilding is about weight training, aerobic exercise, and everything. It's a sport that can be done, and it is said that you have to manage your body for 24 hours and 365 days. For example, tennis, golf, and surfing, of course, you do it when you are doing it, but the current topic is that you have to manage your body for 24 hours and 365 days. That's right. That's the ultimate. Sport is a sport, isn't it? That's right. But bodybuilding is a competition. That's how you do it. That's right. Thank you very much. That's just one of the symptoms, and the real bodybuilding is that you have to go as far as you can. That's right. The daily積極, 365 days, from the day of the competition to the day of the competition, the competition of bodybuilders has already begun. I see. That's when you borrow that place and announce it on the day of the competition. That's right. Sport is a sport that is a little far away. It's something that you can't do unless you're strong in the face of the feeling. That's what bodybuilding is about. That's right. It's something that you can expect both mentally and physically. If you look at it today, of course, I think you can see it. It's like it's eight kilometers away. The muscle is moving. It's like that. Really? You brought a picture of the competition a few days ago. I'd like to show you from there. If you can show the first picture here. Yes. This is amazing. When did you take this picture? This picture was taken in April 2018. It hasn't been taken for a year yet. This is a stinger that was taken as a championship. Yes, this is a stinger. The heaviest weight is more than 90 kg. People gather together. More than 90 kg? How much do you weigh the most? About 60 kg. How much do you weigh? 60, 70, 80 kg. It's easy to say, but it's divided like this. I see. The heaviest weight is more than 90 kg. Second picture, please. Is this the same? This is the same competition. This is called most muscular. Most muscular. This is the most difficult part of bodybuilding. It's the posing of the show. You put your strength in this. You show the muscular muscles. Yes, because there is no fat. When you put your strength in, each muscle comes out. And the result comes out. The result. The result comes out. That's right. It's called muscularity and it's evaluated there. If there is no fat, the texture comes out. If you put your strength in, it will be like this. I see. Ordinary people don't have fat. That's right. It's the fat that shows the acacia that you took off. It's the acacia that you took off. That's right. The last picture. This is a little bit of a sale. This is taken by a professional cameraman. How does this look like? I have a team called Kawasaki from my bodybuilding team. Kawasaki is a Japanese team? It's a Japanese team with a Japanese coach. This is written as a powerhouse. This is a practice room. I was introduced to it as a model. Yes, you were a model. At that time, I was very good at it. It was my body. I was told to ask for a scene. I see. This is Kawasaki from your team. It's in Hawaii. Yes, it's in Aya. It's in Aya. It's a team called Kawasaki from the top team. Kawasaki is a Japanese team name. Yes, there is a teacher called Kawasaki. I see. It's a training room called a powerhouse. Yes, that's right. I see. I just showed you a little bit. I think you can feel it a little bit. I want to go back to the previous story. It's a part of your body. It's 365 days for 24 hours. You don't have to worry about what you eat or what you eat. It's about sleeping and other things. How do you pay attention to such a life? If you're doing bodybuilding, it's hard. Bodybuilding and lifestyle and life are very linked. When it comes to difficulties and problems, how do you solve them? The preparation of the day. I think it's the same for bodybuilding and life. You don't have to be so lucky. You have to be prepared for it. That's what I do. I think I met it because I was prepared to feel lucky. Bodybuilding is not just my bodybuilding. I think it supports my lifestyle. Bodybuilding is hard to do. Training and bodybuilding are close to that. If your body is healthy and looks good, it will make you feel lighter and support your body. That way, your lifestyle and quality will improve. You have a different face and face. It's a fit to say that life is a change. I see. Your lifestyle and your quality of life can make your body. That's right. I think that's the main point. Well, as I said before, there are some things that are hard to do, right? Yes, there are. It's the same as life. Yes, there are. It's not always like this. Yes, yes. When the bodybuilders overcome the hard things, for example, what are the words, what are the ways of thinking? Well, let me ask you a really simple question. Do you keep getting stronger? Keep getting stronger. Yes. When you think that you can't do it, you start. When you think you can't do it, you start. Yes, even if you raise your weight. Yes. To make a new muscle, you have to go beyond the limit. I see. When you think you can't do it, you start. When you think you can't do it, you start. I see. You talked about it just now, right? Yes. Well, for example, I'm doing 5kg, 5 pounds, 5 pounds like this every day. Then I can't do the muscle. After all, if you don't go to 5.5 or 6 or the next, you won't be able to do it. Yes. More than the goal of the body, you need to level up a little bit so that you can stimulate your body. Of course, you can understand the right form, the right weight. If you can't do it, you don't have to do it again and again. You have to put in the right process. Yes. As long as you don't have a burden on yourself. Then you go to the goal. That's how it is. That's how it is. Yes. It really feels like a mental state. That's right. I think that's pretty close. I'm going to go back to the story here. Yes. How did Shin-san do bodybuilding in the past? Were you a macho man like this? No, that's not the case. I'm a normal Japanese. You had a young age, right? Yes, I did. Why did you want to enter such a world? I remember it clearly. When I was in elementary school, I saw a picture of the American bodybuilding in the video. It was so cheap. At that time, I was so excited. I thought, how can a human be this kind of person? That's what I thought. When I was in elementary school, I thought of muscle. I thought of the exercise that I thought of. I think it was right to think about it now. How old were you in elementary school? I wanted to go to a gym. I went to my mother's house and got scolded. You got scolded? What are you saying to a child? I was in elementary school when I was 5 years old. Since then, I bought two dumbbells in my room. I did it in my room. That's enough. I did it when I was 5 years old. I also did maturation training and arm wrestling. You did gymnastics during that time? You did the gym in Taisho? I was in the training camp. You were in the training camp? Yes. I did sports at a very small area. You did sports at the gym at that time when you were little. That's right. The roundness of his strength is so cool while he's a child. I didn't really care about anything else, but his strength alone is amazing. He's a big brother. He's definitely amazing. So, it's your first time being like that? Yes. Did you do that when you were in junior high school? Yes. I was allowed to go to junior high school when I was in junior high school. So, you went to junior high school? Yes, I went to junior high school. I started doing things that I could do safely. From then on, junior high school has been going on for a long time. I see. There was a teacher who was there. Did you do any training? Yes. When I went to junior high school, there were a lot of people who didn't know that I was in junior high school. But now, there are a lot of people who have that much knowledge. There were a lot of people who had personal training. I was doing what the teachers were doing with my own eyes. I was told that I was doing something different. I was doing it without thinking. So, you were being a little cute. Yes. I see. After I was a little boy, I was aiming for a muscle. I was a chicken. I was a chicken. I was able to make a body that has that kind of structure. That was when I was in my teens. Yes. I have been standing for a few years now. Yes. I have been doing it for a long time. I have been doing things that are called muscle training. I came to Hawaii 13 or 14 years ago. At that time, I met someone similar to my body. I went to the gym. Yes. I thought, wow, this is the same as the video I saw when I was in elementary school. I lived in Hawaii and decided to do it. I see. That's when I started my professional bodybuilding. Yes. Next, I would like to take a break. After that, I would like to talk to you. We are going to take a short break here. And we will be right back. Stay tuned. And Aloha.

We're going to definitely be talking about it. We'll talk about how we can make Hawaii cleaner, how we can make the world a better place, just basically save the planet. Even Miss America can't even talk about stuff like that anymore. We got it nailed down here. We'll continue on Friday at noon with Stan the Energy Man. We're back from break. I'm Yukari Kunisue. And this is Konnichiwa, Hawaii, talking with Shin Kodama, Japanese bodybuilding heavyweight champion and personal trainer in Hawaii. Hello, this is Konnichiwa, Hawaii. Today we're going to talk about Shin Kodama. We're also going to talk about bodybuilding and personal health. Thank you for joining us. Thank you very much. We're going to talk about training. We're going to talk about training. We're going to talk about training. We're going to talk about training. Let's become professionals. Could you talk about those things too? The goal of bodybuilding is to become a professional bodybuilder. I've been looking for that, but I can't say I'm becoming a professional bodybuilder. It's a sin. The size of my weight depends on how much you can lift on the stage. If you lift it higher, you can see how thin it is. So my height is 176.5 cm. 100 kg is like before the off-season. If you don't have 100 kg, you can't fight. So I give advice to experts. So even if you start, you should eat and train. You should lose weight. If you don't lose weight, you can't make a body that is in a fight. That's what I mean. So what do you eat first? I eat carbs and rice. Protein, protein, meat, fish, I only eat 5-6 times a day. Do you drink protein powder? Yes, I drink it. After training, I drink it because it's faster to absorb than normal food. For example, it's like a supplement. So you drink it? Yes. If you want to take the necessary nutrients from your diet, you have to eat a lot. Yes, I have a lot of things that I don't need. I have to take the things that I don't need for bodybuilding. So the supplement is what I was thinking about. It's a supplement. I take the necessary nutrients from my body while I'm doing it. When I hear something about protein, I'm worried that I might get a lot of it. Yes. You have to wear it. You have to make sure that you don't lose weight. That's how you train. That's right. Bodybuilding is very effective. It's effective? It's not an enemy. If you take a diet from a normal person, you'll get a lot of protein. You shouldn't eat pasta. Yes, you shouldn't eat pasta. When you hear the amount of food I'm eating, you say, but you eat 6 to 5 bowls of rice a day. This changes your energy and changes your power for your diet. It becomes a power. So you shouldn't force yourself to eat. You can do that. You can do that, but you can't lose your natural muscles. You can't just lose your body. I see. Balance is very important. It's important. I see. You should always look at your body, look at the condition, and think, let's eat this much today. Do you take a record of what you ate? What did you eat? That's right. I'll make it simple. If you take a diet from the morning to the night, you'll get what you're eating. I see. You can't even catch a cold. I can't catch a cold. I can't catch a cold. Also, it's hard for women to cook. Do you make it by yourself? At first, I said I'm sorry, but I did it by myself. But there's a limit. If you train, work, and do a lot of things, I'm asking you to make it by yourself. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm training, but when I was training, I learned a lot from many people. I'm working on it now. I'm also training. I share it with others. I'm working on it as a job. I'm working as a personal trainer. I see. As a personal trainer, do you have people who want to be like you? Shin, I want to be like you. I have a lot of questions about that. Of course, people who want to be a player and want to do bodybuilding have come to me. In fact, 80% to 90% of people have a shape-up, a hip-up, a diet. Everyone, 80% of people have a client. Hip-up, shape-up. What have you experienced in bodybuilding when you look at your health, your lifestyle, and what kind of pull-out do you think will suit you? I've decided to guide you on how to do it. In a way, it's not all about how you do it. If you're a person, it's a type of bodybuilding and you're a foodie. So, it's like a personalized custom-made bodybuilding. Yes. So, what kind of questions do you have when you train Shinsa? I have a lot of questions, but I can't help it. If it's a hope, I'll do my best. I really want to do this. I want to raise this a little more. I also want to do bodybuilding. What I'm doing now is rehabbing. Rehabbing. I'm helping you. For example, what kind of rehabbing do you do? For example, if you're a physical therapist, you can come to my place and do normal bodybuilding. I want to go back to golf as soon as possible. So, I want to do bodybuilding. So, I'm doing a lot of bodybuilding. So, can you train even if you have a high school degree? I think it's a good place for personal training. The muscles that move properly and the areas that don't move are also supported. Yes, they are supported. I can't help it. If you don't exercise, you'll get fat. Yes. That's also a difference between rehabbing. So, in terms of bodybuilding, I'm doing muscle training. So, when you go back to the previous topic, for example, mental training and lifestyle, do you feel like you're in training? Yes, I feel like that. So, how old are the women who are over 80 years old? Well, they are over 40 years old. Yes, they are over 40 years old. They are over 40 years old. I want to do my best. So, when you look at your body in the mirror, do you realize that you are over 40 years old? No. I'm too old. Yes. So, when you try to do something, you can't do anything. You're losing weight. Yes. You can do it now because you're young. Even if you try, your weight won't change at all. Even if you get injured, you can't do it. Yes. So, please, where do you come from? I see. So, how much time do you spend on your training? Yes. I think there are many variations. That's what I want to say. Yes. If you ask me, I'll say it again. Yes. Of course, the more you train, the more you lose weight. Yes. And the more you lose weight. Yes. The more you train, the more you lose weight. Yes. But, it's hard for me to train every time. Yes. So, once a week, I always watch it. Yes. Yes. And, once a week, I do self-training. Self-training. Yes. Self-training. Yes. Even if I'm not there, I do it without any injuries. It's a simple exercise. So, I introduce it every time. During training. Yes. You can do self-training. Yes. It's simple. You can do it without any injuries. Yes. If you do it, the result is easy. Yes. So, you do it without any injuries. Yes. You do self-training. Yes. Yes. How much time do you have to train your ideal? My ideal is to train my body to change. If I do it properly, it's two months. Two months, everyone. To train my body to change. Yes. To train my body to change. Yes. As expected, it's about two months and three months or four months. I start training my surroundings. After training? I think about what you're doing. If I train my ideal, it's half a year. Yes. First, I think people will see me in 2 or 3 months. If I get out for about 6 months... I want to be like this and that. I want to be like this and that. You're a woman, aren't you? Yes, everyone is a woman. If you want to train with Shin-san, where should I contact you? If you contact Shin-san, how much will it cost? Can I ask you that? Can I go there? No, you can go there. Everyone is a woman. It's 100 dollars per hour. 100 dollars? Yes. If you continue to train for 2 months, you may feel a little bit. That's right. So if you train with Shin-san, I can help you. If you want me to help you, where should I contact Shin-san? The number is 808-723-9571. I also have Instagram. Hit Shin. H-I-T-Underscore. If you check it out, I will show you this.
