World Fitness Competitor, Joshua Self, Rebounds After Life-Threatening Motorcycle Accident 45-Year Old Wins Duel Championship Titles in 2022 NPC Dexter Jackson Classic Jacksonville, FL – On July 23rd at the NPC Dexter Jackson Classic, Joshua Self won his 6th and 7th Championship Titles as a Physique Competitor, beating out 150 competitors, many of them half his age. Self’s double win is a story of triumph. Self survived a horrific motorcycle accident on January 2, 2020, where he was t-boned and smashed by an oncoming car. Shattering his ankle, ribs, and back landed him 6 months confined to a wheelchair just as COVID was taking hold of the world. Gyms were closed, Americans were piling on the pounds, and the line of excuses for not working out was long. However, Joshua set a goal and ignited his mindset that he would return as a physique competitor, setting his sights on Mr. Olympia in October 2021. After 2 surgeries, rehabilitation and an aggressive routine, Self was on the Mr.Olympia stage, but it was too soon. While his body looked strong and he had built back a winning and impressive phsique, he limped in pain on the stage and it cost him the title. Joshua decided right then, that even at 45-years-old, he was not giving up. Self developed a unique workout system based on biomechanics that allows him to train and build muscle in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Joshua is a true testament to the power of his philosophy on both diet and exercise, and he has just released his secrets to success in a course called Elite Self Image Fitness that can be found at www.JoshuaFitness.com. Joshua credits his 2 years of being a strict vegetarian, then most recently switching to a Ketogenic diet using high-grade quality protein, combined with his unique high rep, time under tension gym workouts and his backstage warm-up secret weapon, the SpinGym as the formula to his astounding comeback success. Motivational Speaker Les Brown said, Joshua's commitment to himself and his drive for physical excellence is a marvel to behold and an inspiration for all of us to keep going and never give up. Joshua’s mission now is to motivate young and older athletes alike to focus on their goals inspite of what others around you may be saying. He believes that its never to late to pursue your dreams as long as you want it bad enough and like Zig Ziglar said, “You don’t need to be great to start, but you do have to start, to be great!”
