For the longest time, bodybuilding has been considered a sport where genetic beasts can compete against each other. Yet over time, people with a passion for the sport often break through the stereotype and work hard enough to fill the gap of advantages they were not bestowed with. Kyle Landi is one of the most prominent examples, who is a bodybuilder with Down Syndrome. Recently, he revealed the most important thing about his workout sessions.
The 23-year-old from Canada is the only athlete from his nation who has taken part in competitive bodybuilding. In 2023, Landi was invited to Arnold Classics as a special guest. This bodybuilder shares valuable tips to inspire others who doubt themselves and question their worth. Just as he did in a recent social media post.
