Paul NEWTWHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
HOW IT ALL STARTED...
"When I was 12 years old, I was VERY unhappy with my body. At the time, the ONE PHYSICAL THING I could do well was run long distances (at a slow pace). But I was FAT. I HATED my body and was embarrassed by the fact that I could barely perform ONE push-up. When I found the weights, I suddenly realized "this is the way". All I had at the time was one 20 lb dumbbell, but I figured out how to hit virtually every muscle group using only that 20 lb dumbbell, my own bodyweight, and Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding for reference. I became very excited by my body's response. I noticed immediate improvements in my body's appearance and my physical strength throughout that first year from the simple workouts I constructed. I began to collect more dumbbells. One of my uncles cleaned out his basement and gave me a rusty barbell set. I cleaned every weight plate, and "painted" each plate with permanent black marker. I painted the rusty barbell black and wrapped it with hockey stick tape. Soon after, a good friend gave me another barbell and about 60 lbs of some plastic-encased cement plates that I rolled on the street from his house to mine (about a half mile distance away). I got a "Weider" home exercise bench with the leg-extension attachment for my 14th birthday. I was allowed to set up a small workout area at my grandparent's house. I spent every spare moment working out, thinking about working out, or learning how to workout. Every birthday and Christmas I asked for more weight plates and dumbbells. Every birthday I blew out the candles I wished for one thing: a perfect body."
PERSONALPaul Newt has an intense passion weight training in all its forms, and finds great enjoyment in conceptualizing, creating, refining, and improving diet and exercise systems. Paul spends the vast majority of his time coaching clients, training, reading books and listening to audio books, building and repairing computers and computer networks, researching investments, and generally anything related to discovering new ways to improve human health and performance. Paul's lifelong goal is to become the best version of himself possible.
Paul Newt first started lifting weights at the age of 12 and he has spent tens of thousands of hours working out and learning about working out. As a heavyweight competitor, Paul won his first bodybuilding contest at age 21 (the first show he ever entered). By the age of 23, he had become recognized as a local expert on how to lose fat, gain muscle, gain strength, and improve physical performance, leading to the founding and launch of his first business, Extreme Sports Nutrition. Ten years later, at the age of 33, he finally realized a lifelong dream by opening his own original concept gym, Edge 24 Hour Private Fitness. After spending the vast majority of his training career concentrating almost exclusively on bodybuilding and powerlifting, in 2011, Paul Newt turned the majority of his energy, attention, drive, determination, and problem solving skills towards Weightlifting (the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk).
