Matt Morton trains more innovative as a type-2 diabetes Natural Olympia champion.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n
Trials and tribulations are part of life. But overcoming them is normalcy for champions. Despite any challenges, Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) competitor\u00a0<\/span>Matt Morton\u00a0<\/b>demonstrates that an intelligent training plan can get you far in natural bodybuilding. Matt Morton, <\/span>PNBA Natural Olympia<\/span><\/a>\u00a0wheelchair champion and Disabled United States Marine Corps (USMC) Veteran, has type-2 diabetes. So he had to tailor his training and nutrition regimen to prep for competition. In an Instagram (IG) post, Morton said:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBeing a type-2 diabetic I had to be smarter about contest prep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You can see his complete statement and transformation pictures below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Part of Matt Morton\u2019s innovative training protocol includes supersets. With supersets \u2013 two different exercises targeting two opposing muscle groups performed subsequently with no rest \u2013 <\/span>you can save time and increase the intensity of your workouts. <\/span><\/a>For example, he likes to superset\u00a0<\/span>cable reverse fly <\/span><\/a>with <\/span>dumbbell shoulder press.<\/span><\/a> He also incorporates <\/span>incline dumbbell bench press<\/span><\/a>. This movement targets more of your upper chest, which will build you a stout upper body. Additionally, to develop killer shoulders, Morton includes dumbbell Arnold press. <\/span>Dumbbell Arnold presses targets all three of your deltoid muscles<\/span><\/a> \u2013 posterior, lateral, and anterior -, and put your shoulders on fire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can see an IG video of Morton performing <\/span>dumbbell bicep curl,<\/span><\/a> dumbbell single-arm tricep extension, and dumbbell Arnold press below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Matt Morton says:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEveryone wants results. However, many people are not consistent with diet & training.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Consistency and proper supplementation go a long way. Morton praises One Nation Nutrition as his supplement brand of choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The sport of natural bodybuilding requires competitors to get drug tested. There are many natural bodybuilding leagues. However, there\u2019s one that separates from the herd \u2013 PNBA\/International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA). This federation detects any substance unnoticed in other drug testing methods. That\u2019s because they use the <\/span>World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which only tests their athletes through premier laboratories.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Unfortunately, other natural bodybuilding leagues don\u2019t use WADA, so athletes may be using a substance they\u2019re unaware is a performance-enhancing substance. For example, the <\/span>2021 Natural Olympia Women\u2019s Bodybuilding champion<\/span><\/a> recently failed a drug test administered at Natural Olympia. However, she claims she was oblivious of the banned substance since she passed the drug test screening in a different natural bodybuilding league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Still, some skeptics <\/span>voice that you can still beat the WADA drug test.<\/span><\/a> WADA is superior for a reason, and it isn\u2019t cheap. Although the INBA\/PNBA leagues claim to drug test their athletes in and out of season, administering more frequent tests gets costly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Reaching your health and fitness goals with diabetes comes with obstacles. Still, Matt Morton has gone above and beyond showing how smart training can reap any fitness goal you want, including being a <\/span>natural bodybuilding champion.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Generation Iron would like to congratulate Matt Morton on his outstanding 2021 year.
