GAINING WEIGHT
In 2013 he began competing alongside Lucas Rual. The pair have both had to focus on increasing their weight to ensure they are heavy enough to compete effectively in the 49er class. "We do a lot of physical training, which is especially focused on weight gain. We are not so big and, as it is ideal to have a combined weight of 180 kilograms in the 49er class, we spend so much time at the gym lifting heavy weights. The rhythm is about twice a week when there is no regatta. Since we started specific muscle training, we have gained about six kilos each. We also have a specific nutrition regime. When we first began in the 49er, we were very light and fast. Little by little we gained weight and lost that extra speed, but now I would say that we are more versatile."
