He Injures His Hand Now? (August 2019)

So anyways, a year later or so and Calum Von Moger is finally able to train his legs.

This dude is incredibly motivational. All he had to say about the entire process was that he trusted God and that he just had to do what he had been doing for life. He said that bodybuilding is just waiting for the muscle to grow, so that’s all he has to do now.

What a legend.

So again, anyways, he goes to workout. Let this picture just tell you the rest:

The calum von moger injury in action, he ends up getting 26 stitches.

This is probably one of the most screenshotted posts on Snapchat history. I know every one of my bodybuilding friends screenshotted it when he put it on his story.

Here’s a full video of him moving it around and stuff:

So, I tried to find ANY thing online detailing what happened to his hand. Nobody knows.

In fact, his twitter account didn’t post anything. Nothing on his YouTube channel, either. What the heck?? I know this was around the time his movie was released, so perhaps he didn’t want to like risk losing sales or something by posting it.

Regardless, this is the type of injury that puts him out of the gym for maybe like 2-3 weeks? I know when my buddy Chaz literally had a knife go into his hand (and I rescued him don’t worry, first aid saves lives) he was only out of the gym for like 7 days.

And I mean, the kid loves the gym so.

Furthermore, Calum Von Moger was likely still focusing on legs at this point anyways. After his quad got torn, it was a slow recovery and he needs those back in action so he can compete.

And, you don’t necessarily need strong hands to use the leg machine at the gym, so, maybe he can count himself lucky here.

Calum Von Moger Injury

Simeon panda

While Calum’s rise to fame and fortune appears like a fairytale—recent years have been tough.

In 2017, he attempted, with Olympia runner-up Chris Bumstead, a world record bicep barbell curl—a completely insane 400 pounds.

It ended in disaster—with Calum Von Moger tearing his distal bicep tendon. An injury that required surgery to repair.

Then, just one year later, while rappelling down a cliff with his brothers, he suffered both a dislocated knee-cap and a ruptured quadriceps tendon. This led to more time under the surgeon’s knife.

Although now back in training, these setbacks dramatically reduced his gym time—and ruined any recent plans of competing.

Falling Off A Cliff. Literally. The Second Calum Von Moger Injury. (April 2018)

Katya elise henry

Do you think I’m kidding? Nope. The second Calum von Moger injury happened when the beast himself tried to do some weird form of cliff climbing and literally fell off of the cliff.

It’s hard to explain. Here’s a video of the incident happening. Yep, he had a camera on, so you can literally see him fall off the cliff and hear everything. Warning, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

Watch this video on YouTube

If that clip wasn’t enough, Calum von Moger was “kind” enough to upload a nearly 10 minute long video of it happening, including him going into the ambulance.

Okay, user MOSER_US said something way too funny for me not to put in this blog post. “I don’t think this is what Arnold meant by shocking the muscles”. LMAOOOO, okay I’m sorry but that’s good.

But, seriously, you can’t make this stuff up. This guy gets injured while curling, then literally (not even for all intents and purposes, literally) falls off a cliff.

His Quadricep Breaks, AND HIS BICEP TEARS AGAIN.

So first of all, we just got done talking about how he tore his bicep on that 400 lb curl.

Well, keep in mind, these events are barely a year apart from each other. When Calum Von Moger slipped off the cliff, he grabbed the rope as instinct. (As, well, anybody would).

He grabbed it with the arm he first had torn his bicep in, so he retore his bicep open.

How does this guy even survive? If I tore my bicep twice I don’t even know if I could live with myself. Maybe I’m just a baby, but…

Then his quadricep tears. So, in the video, he says his knee is broken. Ultimately what ends up happening is his quadricep rips. The quadricep is that big muscle on the ‘top’ part of your leg.

So if you’re sitting down reading this, look down at your leg, it’s the muscle on top. Or, just put your hands on your lap.

It’s a fairly big muscle and I’m surprised it tore,

What Were The Implications of His Cliff Injury? (Loses 50 Lbs of Muscle)

Well, this was really the injury that ‘ruined’ it all if you will. I wouldn’t say his career is over or ruined. But, man, it definitely put a big brick wall in front of his trail.

Ultimately, Calum Von Moger was unable to train his legs or really most of his body for a long time. Because of this, he ends up losing nearly 50 lbs of muscle.

Much of his frame, symmetry, etc. were all affected. And let me tell you, it’s something like you only gain 2 lbs of muscle per month or whatever? With muscle memory- he will be able to gain it back much faster.

But regardless, that’s nearly 2 years of hard work that had to go away because of his injuries. This guy is tough.

2015: British Got Talent

Хельмут штребль и его тренировки

11 апреля 2015 года прослушивание Скотта в девятой серии британского Got Talent было транслировано на ITV. Он исполнил кавер-версию «Dancing on My Own» Робина, которую он слышал, когда Kings of Leon выступал на Live Lounge BBC Radio 1 в 2013 году. После бурных аплодисментов на судейской панели Саймон Коуэлл нажал на «Золотой зуммер», предоставив Скотту автоматическое место в живые шоу.

Объясняя свое решение отправить Скотта прямо в полуфинал, Коуэлл сказал: «Я никогда за все годы, когда я делал это шоу, да и не слышал парня с твоим талантом. Серьезно!». После этого прослушивания Скотт получил поддержку от таких звезд, как Little Mix и Ashton Kutcher.

После его появления в первом эпизоде шоу его последователи в Твиттере подскочили с 400 до более чем 25 000 человек. По состоянию на 25 апреля 2017 года прослушивание было просмотрено ровно 105 384 676 на YouTube. В полуфинале 29 мая Скотт сыграл Джермейна Стюарта «Нам не нужно снимать одежду».

Nutrition

With a quick metabolism such as Calum’s, he’s lucky enough to get away eating a huge amount of food while retaining a lean body. Saying that his diet approach is quite simple in the fact that if he wants to gain more muscle, he will simply eat more. And if he’s cutting, he’ll slightly reduce his overall calorie intake in preparation for a photo shoot or competition.

One of his favorite meals he likes to eat at any time of the day is watermelon with cottage cheese. Or any home cooked meal by his family and friends. Such as meat, potatoes, and vegetables.

For supplements, Calum will often use a whey protein along with BCAA’s, creatine, and a pre-workout to keep him strong in the gym.

Calum will also use a glucose powder to feed his muscles, as well as magnesium, zinc, multivitamins, fish oil, and taurine. This helps Calum to maintain a healthy heart and nervous system.

Naturally, to both gain and maintain his serious mass—he needs to eat a lot—and often.

Idols and Influences

Looking at Calum’s physique we can clearly see who is idols were throughout his career. The classics such as Arnold, Frank Zane and Steve Reeves, are all held in the highest regards by Calum.

Watching his idols on TV as a youngster and training with the same intensity and methods used back in the “golden era.” Calum has shaped his body to mirror their style and look.

The v-shaped body with the smaller waist, wide lats with huge arms, and shoulders with thick legs are the backbone of Calum’s hard work. He hopes to show the world what bodybuilding is all about. He wants to show the natural looking physiques that were based on the ancient Greek statues and the gods of yesteryear.

Calum doesn’t want to put down the hard work of today’s modern bodybuilders, but for him, the true physique are those of the classics.

Карьера

Впервые Калум Вон Могер выступил на соревнованиях по бодибилдингу в 2010 году. Он занял первое место, что стало главным «трамплином» для его дальнейшей карьеры. Переход в профессиональную категорию Калума происходит в 2014, где он снова выигрывает первое место на турнире «Мистер Вселенная». То же самое повторяется и в 2015 году, после чего он переезжает в Калифорнию, где и живет до сих пор.

Тем не менее, после переезда атлет узнает о существовании категории «Классик», для соответствия которой он меняет тренировочную схему, питание и даже образ жизни.

Калум Вон Моге во многом вдохновлялся атлетами «Золотой эры», которые помимо невероятных объемов и качественного рельефа, отличались отличными пропорциями и эстетикой. Потому Калум не только ровнялся на подобный «идеал телосложения», но и применял немало методов и тренировок спортсменов того поколения, особенно тяжелые приседы со штангой, тяги и подтягивания.

Training

Primarily focusing on a 4-day split, Calum likes to lift as much weight as possible to ensure he continues to grow and retain his huge physique. Always practicing the strictest form possible, and focusing on each muscle fiber and strand being used, and making sure that every aspect of his body is put under the right amount of tension for growth.

Lifting Heavy

Using heavy weights and low reps and a pyramid training structure is what Calum prefers to use.

This involves the weight being increased with each set, and with basic compound exercises such as deadlift, bench press, squats and bent over rows. These exercises have contributed to Calum’s awesome growth.

This shows us that his workouts are basic, but also heavy and intense. Calum says that it’s also important to utilize your rest days as you’ll be lifting so much weight. It’s vital to get at least 3 days of rest spread throughout the week says Calum when training like this.

Cardio

For cardio, which is not hugely important for Calum as his metabolism is so fast it burns up most of the calories he eats. But when he does do cardio, it’s often swimming and mountain biking.

A typical training week may look something like this:

Monday & Thursday

1. Incline Situp: 2-3 x 20-30
2. Hyperextension: 2-3 x 10-15
3. Squat: 6 x 12/10/8/6/4/2*
4. Barbell Bent Rowing: 5 x 12/10/8/6/4*

6. Barbell Wrist Curl: 3 x 12/10/8*
7. Standing Calf Raise: 5 x 15/12/10/8/6*

Tuesday & Friday

Биография Калума Вон Могера (Calum Von Moger)

Родился Калум Вон Могер (иногда произносят Калум Фон Могер ) 9-го июня 1990 года, в небольшом городке под названием Виктория, Австралия. Помимо Калума, в их семье было ещё пятеро детей. Жили они на семейном ранчо, где работы хватало на всех.

Калум Вон Могер с детства был очень активным ребенком. Как только появлялась свободная минутка, он со старшим братом уходил играть в футбол. Когда Калуму исполнилось 14 лет, его семья переехала в город Джилонг, который находится на побережье океана.

Калум Вон Могер был худым ребенком. Чтобы набрать вес, они со старшим братом пробирались по вечерам в местный склад, где были старые, ржавые штанги, и там тренировались. Затем Калум тренировался в местном тренажерном зале, пока два года доучивался в школе.

После окончания школы, Калум Вон Могер поступает в университет в Мельбурне. Однако вскоре он теряет интерес к учебе и через 6 месяцев возвращается домой. Он заочно проходит обучение, и получает диплом персонального тренера. Следующим летом он летит в США, где работает инструктором в детском лагере у подростков, возрастом от 8 до 16 лет. Также Калум Вон Могер работал гидом нескольких лет, и параллельно тренировался, усовершенствуя свою форму.

В октябре 2010-го, Калум Вон Могер впервые выступает на сцене турнира «ANB Victorian Bodybuilding Championship», который проходил среди юниоров возрастом 19+. Калум начал подводить форму до соревновательного уровня за две недели до турнира, и в итоге занял 1-е место.

В 2011 году Калум Вон Могер получил письмо от друга по имени Симон Фолкнер, который предлагал ему встретится с президентом федерации НАББА, Грэмом Лансфилдом. В итоге Грэм предложил ему выступить на турнире Мистер Вселенная среди юниоров, который в том году проходил в городе Баден, Австрия. Калум приступает к подготовке, и затем летит в Австрию, где занимает 1-е место на турнире.

В 2013 году Калум Вон Могер переходит в профессионалы, и выступает на турнире Мистер Вселенная федерации WFF, где занимает 1-е место. Годом позже, в 2014-м, Калум Вон Могер возвращается на турнир, чтобы защитить свой титул, и во второй раз он становится Мистером Вселенная.

В 2015 году, Калум Вон Могер в третий раз побеждает на турнире «Мистер Вселенная». После этих побед он переезжает в Лос-Анжелес, и направляет свой взор на недавно созданную категорию «Classic Physique», которая идеально подходит для него.

На сегодняшний день Калум Вон Могер живет и тренируется в Лос-Анжелесе. В 2017-м году он собирается дебютировать в категории «Classic Physique» федерации IFBB, где основными его соперниками будут Садик Хадзовик, Араш Рахбар и победитель Олимпии 2016 Дэнни Хестер.

Calum Von Moger Quotes: Motivation and Inspiration

If you follow Calum Von Moger on social media—or have heard him interviewed—you know this guy isn’t a fool.

Here are just some of his wise words:

“Just like the oak sleeps in the acorn—and the eagle waits in the egg—every great achievement starts with a dream.”

“What I like are the old, classic physiques…quality over quantity…that is, bodies made in the 1960s and 1970s. Aesthetic, with perfect symmetry and proportion. My ultimate goal would be to build a body like that one day. But then again, probably just a little bit better.”

“I’m hard with myself because failure isn’t an option.”

“Passion, motivation, and discipline—that’s what drives me toward my goals.”

About Calum Von Moger

Born in Australia in 1990 and coming from Austrian and Dutch ancestry, Calum Jose Von Moger had humble beginnings.

He grew up with his five siblings on a small farm in Geelong, Victoria. Wherever he could, the young Calum helped out his hard-working parents in the family’s struggling fruit and vegetable business.

These years were to prove formative in shaping Calum’s future mindset—creating a dedication to physical work and an understanding of the importance of food and nutrition.

But, it was the movies that finally determined his future.

After witnessing the jaw-dropping physiques of the bodybuilders Steve Reeves in Hercules (1958) and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Pumping Iron (1977)—Calum resolved that this was his destiny.

But, at 14, with little money in the family—access to a professional gym was impossible.

However, his brother had a solution.

He knew that close to the family home was a downtrodden warehouse—functioning as a simple fitness center for the town’s locals. The equipment was dated and incredibly basic—mainly consisting of rusty dumbbells.

But, it was all Calum required to become addicted to lifting.

Often, the warehouse proprietor would leave the door key hanging inside in the letterbox—so he and his brother could train after school. Sometimes—the owner forgot—meaning Von Moger had to crawl beneath the shutters to allow him to train.

After a few years pushing himself hard in the gym—Calum began to enter local competitions. By the age of 21—he won the NABBA (National Amateur Bodybuilders Association) Junior International Championships.

Fast-forward to the present day—and Calum Von Moger is one of the most influential and famous athletes on the fitness circuit.

With a string of bodybuilding titles to his name, three million Instagram followers, and 825k YouTube subscribers—the man is an absolute powerhouse.

And, emulating the silver screen idols which inspired him—he entered the movie industry. He featured in the documentary Generation Iron 2 (2017) and played his hero Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film Bigger (2018).

Today, Calum Von Moger girlfriend, Karina Elle, lives with him in Los Angeles, California.

Is Calum Von Moger on Steroids?

The Calum Von Moger steroids question has been a massive point of contention over the years—does he, or doesn’t he?

Well, recently, he put the rumors to rest.

In an interview with Generation Iron, he stated:

I never claim natural…I just don’t talk about it (steroids) publicly…it’s something I don’t wanna promote.

Calum says that the only way he could have any chance in competition was to make it a level playing field. All the other guys were taking synthetics—so he began to use ‘roids too—enhancing his already impressive physique.

Furthermore, he explained that he’s concerned about the kids. He doesn’t want the youngsters, who see him as an idol, thinking that steroids are both safe and acceptable.

Von Moger fully understands the risks of synthetic abuse.

Hence, he doesn’t talk about his stacks or cycles.

Finally, he states that no-one should even consider using steroids before they’ve had at least five years of training experience in the gym.

If you want to learn more about how the Calum Von Moger age old question of steroid use was answered—here’s the interview in full:

What we can learn from Calum Von Moger

If you’re looking to get big, and swole, then Calum’s your man to follow. Seeing how he transformed his body to match the classic shape using heavy weights and basic compound exercises, and a diet high in calories – then you know what to do to achieve the same physique as Mr. Moger.

However, a physique of this size and quality doesn’t come overnight, it takes dedication and hard work, but it’s achievable.

Knowing how to train, when to train, and the right methods to use with the right supplements and diet, means you could be on your way to achieving huge muscles of your own – just like Calum.

Biography

A Brothers Rivalry

Calum’s training life and thirst for the weights room started back in his hometown of Geelong Australia. One day when Calum was 14 his brother asked him if he wanted to go to the gym (an old warehouse close to their home). It wasn’t a fancy gym with lots of equipment, it was old, basic and with rusty dumbbells on the floor, but it was everything Calum needed to catch the lifting bug.

The owner would leave the key in the letterbox so they could train there after school. At times the key wasn’t always there, so sneaking in underneath the shutters was the only way to make sure they could train each night.

Perhaps it was the competition between Calum and his older brother, who he always saw as stronger and taller inspired him to lift more and train harder. Or perhaps it was the fact that he saw himself as a skinny kid growing up.

Calum also became inspired by watching Steve Reeves on TV in ‘Hercules,’ and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hit documentary ‘Pumping Iron.’ Whichever was the main reason for his motivation, it’s clear to see that Calum has put in a lot of hard work, and used a lot of the old techniques to form his classic shape.

A young Calum Von Moger.

Inspired By Hercules

Calum says that he’s trying to bring back the classic shapes of the 60’s and the 70’s, what he calls “the golden era of bodybuilding.” Forming his shape using basic lifting methods and heavy compound movements. Many have commented that it’s hard to tell the difference between Arnold and Calum when stood side by side, due to his training and genetics.

Winning Competitions

After several years of hard work in the gym, Calum started competing in local shows. He went on to win his first bodybuilding competition in 2010, and in 2011, he was selected to take part in the WFF Junior Mr. Universe competition.

Calum also competed and won the NABBA Junior International championships, then went on to take first place in the Jr. Mr. Universe. Calum now resides in Los Angeles California constantly prepping for the next big event.
