I'd like to take this chance to introduce myself. My name is Kevin Topka chairman of Body Language Natural Physique Association, owner of Body Language Spoken (personal training gym ) in Seekonk, MA, personal trainer and competitive natural bodybuilder. I was born in Liberia, a small country on the West Coast of Africa. At the age of 10 I began weight training. I am 6'0" and in my off-season I weigh 240 pounds and compete around 215-220.

I have always been a big dreamer especially when I was growing up, I despised living in such a little country in Africa. I didnít want anything in my life to be little. I wanted more out of life and to be part of the big action. Everything in the U.S.A. is BIG! Thatís what I enjoy about this country - there is no monkey business here - what I mean is, you really have to make an effort to be little here.

I moved to the United States with my Family. I attended Shea High School in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and I was a member of the football team the Shea Raiders and on the track team. After finishing high school I went on to C.C.R.I. (Community College of Rhode Island) where I majored in Criminal Justice. I continued to play football on a Semi-Pro team. While football training and conditioning I starting getting into bodybuilding workouts then after a serious football injury and surgery for knee reconstruction (ACL) my football career was over and I continued weight lifting.

I started seriously weight training at age 16 it was more for strength and power and football conditioning. I really had no idea how to properly develope a muscular physique, yet I still felt driven to. Iíve always had a tremendous hunger and desire to improve myself. My drive was just there - I feel it is a combination of my upbringing and heredity - the competition I had among my friends and the frustration of growing up in a country plagued with problems.

In 1997 I met Al Thurston the N.A.B.F. (North American Bodybuilding Federation) chairman at a gym in Rhode Island and he introduced me into the sport of bodybuilding. Al helped me prepare for my first contest and I thank him very much.

I guess in order to train and diet for many bodybuilding competitions you must have some kind of craziness inside you? I guess this bodybuilding stuff is strange to some people? In a way I must be somewhat crazy to walk back into the gym five times a week to workout on top of me being there all day training clients at my gym Body Language Spoken, Seekonk MA.

Some people just donít understand it and they think it is all nonsense but to me Iím training for A World Championship Title! This drives me want to be the best and creates my strong competitive spirit. I see myself as being the best and I tell myself everyday that I am the World Natural Bodybuilding Champion. I feel I have all the perseverance I need to overcome all obstacles. I am determined to be the best and if things go wrong, as they sometimes will, Iíll keep fighting!

My goal is to become the greatest bodybuilder in the sport of natural bodybuilding. I want the opportunity to promote myself as a personal trainer, my gym (Body Language Spoken), my Federation (Body Language Natural Physique Association)...To promotes Natural Bodybuilding, health and wellness through physical fitness. My goal is to provide an arena for the natural athlete, to promote Drug-free environment, and help people with workout programs, nutritional advice and supplementation programs to be motivated to achieve their personal fitness goals.
