After 2008 my bodybuilding took a dive due to my only son who was born and time was at a premium.
When he reached 4 y/o I started training seriously again at the end of 2010. This time around I knew what I was doing so within 18 months I achieved more than I did in my earlier 4 year transformation.
For the past year and a half my training and health has been excellent and no injuries (I thank God). So I am busy breaking new barriers.
My updated TRANSFORMATION VIDEO: Transformation journey of a 48 y/o
Will keep posting with updates.
I know there are many guys out there with better built than me, but few of my age (48) or older can challenge me so I considered myself very blessed!
Here is a few recent pics to show my current form.
Wish you all MUCH success.

The journey continues!
Hi hi Gert ons het ‘n honderd jaar laas gepraat. Hoe gaan dit daar met jou. Lank laas ‘n update gesien hoe gaan dit met jou oefen.
Xandre – gaan BAIE goed hierdie kant. Training gaan GREAT.
Nou net paar fotos gepost van hoe ek nou lyk aan einde van link: http://gertlouw.com/2012/09/08/few-recent-pics/
Hoe gaan jou training maat?
Lekker dag
Gert
Hello Gert dis lekker om jou blog te volg. Dis my begeerte om soos jy gebou te wees. Gaan jou program volg.
Xandre – jong ek wens jou sukses toe maat. Dit KAN gedoen wees, dis al so baie bewys. So MAAK DIT GEBEUR! Gebruik my program as wegspringpunt en soos jy dinge leer, maak jou eie veranderings en maak dit jou eie…maar maak klein veraderings op ‘n slag en maak seker jou verandering werk voordat jy nog ‘n verandering aanbring. As jy support nodig het…kontak my enigte tyd. G.
Baie dankie Gert waardeer jou terug skrywe. Dink ek is redelik op die regte pad met jou program vir nou. Ek het net een ding nodig en dis ‘n toegewyde gym buddy. Dis maar pretty boring alleen. Dink jy jy kan vir my ene uit die Kaap pos. Hahaha
Jong jy kan BAIE regkry sonder ‘n gym buddy as jou kop reg is…maar baie ouens by die gym soek net so naarstigtilik na iemand om mee saam te train so praat maar rond en jy behoort gou reg te kom. Kies versigtig…die ou moet dieselfde aim he as jy met die oefenry. Sterkte! G.
Jip het dit agter gekom die ouens wil net rondvoeter. Dat is wye i want to order 1 from mother russia.
lol! well said! Ja jong kies maar versigtig.
Ek het nou ‘n 19 jarige outjie wat saam met my train…stoot my intensiteit vlak paar levels op! Alhoewel ek 90% van die tyd op my eie oefen moet ek erken dit doen wondere vir jou program on so nou en dan ‘n serious training partner te he. Lekker oefen. G.
Gert, my old friend! This is Dr Joe from Philadelphia, USA. Your physique has certainly changed and gotten thicker. I am severely jealous. Your health is good I hope, and can we see photos of your perfect boy, who must be school age by now. In the past I had looked at your business website (restaurant wholesale?), and hopefully for you business remains busy? Here in medicine we spend much time working with addicts. But in science God is banished and mocked. Unless of course you’re an addict and we have nothing else to offer, then you can preach the gospel all day! Most of the homework I give out is bible based, and well received. Hey, if I came to visit, can you get us a dinner with Pistorius? Haha, and God bless!

Joe….man been AGES since we last spoke!
So good to hear from you. Yip going very good this side and my health is really good lately. You can probably see it in how my body looks. I count my blessings every day!
I am posting a photo of Janu for you on my blog…
Stay close to the Lord buddy and have a GREAT day!
Gert
Well done, Gert, only known you in a year, but you have already added mass to your frame, and your motivation, and positive encouragement to all of us embarking on this journey is an inspiration to us (esp, over 40) that with perseverance, it can be done, and done well in the right way. Gert also inspires me as a man of faith, keeping his priorities in check, and still able to balance his personal goals, family and faith.
Thanx bud! Yeah…my focus is, must and will always be on God. I have been in very dark places in my life and I never want to be there again. Wish you a GREAT day my friend. Gert
