Dennis Wolf (biography of the height and weight of the athlete is presented below) is a famous bodybuilder, originally from the Kyrgyz SSR. He was born in 1978 in the city of Tokmak. The boy's father was Russian, and his mother was German. There was no wealth in the family. The position of an ordinary worker did not allow his father to earn a lot. Mother was a housewife. There was barely enough money for food.
Childhood
At school, Denis Wolf was very far from bodybuilding. The boy sang in the choir and played basketball. Life has become even more difficult with the advent of two younger children in the family. After the collapse of the USSR, the whole family moved to Germany. This was Wolf's mother's old dream. Denis urgently had to learn German. It was extremely difficult, since at that time there were no special classes for Russian children. After leaving school, Wolf went to work. The young man painted at home and put up windows.
Hard labour
Sometimes the working day lasted 12 hours. There was only one day off. Denis Wolf could leave the hard work only in 2005. But the athlete always found time for classes in the gym, regardless of the degree of his workload. This is a pretty striking example of champion psychology. Wolf developed the qualities that make it possible to overcome any difficulties.
The path to the goal took six years of hard training. Only then did Wolf become a professional. Like many young bodybuilders of the time, Denis was motivated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. In his interviews, he regularly thanked The Terminator for his inspiration.
Competitions
Denis took part in the first tournament at the age of 20 years. Wolf weighed 91 kilograms, which was barely enough for the heavy weight category. However, in 1999, he managed to take second and fourth place. In 2000, Wolf won the title of absolute champion of Germany.
In 2005, the athlete became the world champion among amateurs. This was the start of his professional career. After a couple of years, he was able to move towards the venerable champions. In 2008, Wolf became the fourth at Olimpia (before that he was sixteenth). In 2013, he took third place in the same competition. And in 2014 he won the European Arnold Classic.
A family
The wife Ekaterina and the daughter of Denis Wolf Sabrina always support the athlete in his endeavors. The wife was not opposed when the athlete left his previous job. Denis met in Catherine in a sports club. At the moment, they have been together for almost twenty years (married in 1997). It is a strong family that Wolf considers to be the key to a successful career. For his wife, Denis is the perfect man. The athlete devotes all his victories exclusively to his wife.
Also in the Wolf family there is a pet - an English bulldog. The wife jokingly talks about their similarity. After training, the bodybuilder loves to mess with the dog.
Diet
Denis Wolf wakes up at eight in the morning. He has breakfast with oatmeal and ten squirrels. After that, the athlete takes the vitamin complex, washed down with a protein shake, and after two hours, also a fat burner.
At half past one, lunch begins (brown rice, chicken, vitamins). At seven in the evening, Wolf drinks a carbohydrate drink. For dinner, the bodybuilder usually flounder with baked potatoes and a vitamin complex. Before going to bed, the athlete drinks a couple of servings of a protein shake.
Professional Secrets
In his training, Denis Wolf follows several main principles:
- In bodybuilding, physical and spiritual forces are very important, so you should completely concentrate on classes.
- Choosing the right sports nutrition. Denis tried the products of many brands and decided to stop at serious German companies.
- Priority should always be problem areas. Weaknesses need regular work.
- The optimal number of approaches is 4, and with regard to repetitions, it is 10-12. According to the athlete, a decrease in these numbers will not allow for a good work out of muscle groups.
Denis Wolf Training Program
The hero of this article is engaged 5 times a week. The next two days the bodybuilder is completely resting. Now for muscle groups. Denis devotes the first day to training calves, triceps and chest. The second - thigh biceps, calves and biceps. On the third day, Wolf trains quadriceps. The fourth is dedicated to the back and calves, and the fifth to the shoulders and calf muscles.
Evaluation form
Denis has a mixed type of addition. He is a mesomorph with the features of an ectomorph. This fact has a double effect on the shape of the bodybuilder. On the one hand, we see a massive (from 117 to 132 kilograms) and tall (181 centimeter) athlete with good proportions: long legs, narrow waist, broad shoulders. With frontal poses, this looks great, especially the “widest front” and “one arm biceps” poses. On the other hand, there is a clear lack of muscle mass and failures in the development of the back mass, hip biceps, and triceps. A small calf generally spoil the impression of its general condition. Especially in the pose "ash-pe" (maximum muscularity). Although in this position, he looked even more Coleman. To qualify for the championship, Denis needs to gain about 7-10 kilograms of muscle in the right places.
