Mr Azman Abdullah

Azman Abdullah

Azman Abdullah was the ultimate torchbearer of bodybuilding in Singapore. In 1993, he became the first in Singapore to win a gold medal at the IOC-sanctioned World Games Bodybuilding Championships in the middleweight category, outmuscling 51 of the world's premier bodybuilders. He also won a gold medal at the World Bodybuilding Championships, the same year. His world-class performances won him the best Sportsman of the Year title (for 1993) for the second time.Won Mr.Universe in 1993.

Nearer home, Azman has been a 5-time Mr Singapore, a 3-time Mr Asia, an Asian Pro-Am Classic Champion and a SEA Games gold medallist for three consecutive Games in 1989, 1991 & 1993.

His achievements were unmatched by any other bodybuilders in Singapore. It was not by chance that Azman became a bodybuilding icon in Singapore; he attributed "self discipline" (including a strict diet regimen) and "the hunger to excel" in order to "achieve glory"

okay i got a better Azman Abdullah background from wikipedia.Disgusting to know that..

Azman Abdullah is a renowned Singaporean bodybuilder who became a local icon and world-leading sportsman in the 1990s. Winner of the Mr Singapore title on five separate occasions and the continent-elite Mr Asia five times from 1989 to 1993, he also scooped the prestigious Asian Pro-Am Classic in 1992, and was a multiple gold medal winner in the Southeast Asian Games in 1989, 1991 and in 1993, when the biennial games were held in Singapore.

In 1993, Azman made history as the first Singaporean to strike gold in the World Games Bodybuilding Championships. An event sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, he defeated a staggering 51 of the world's top competitors in the middleweight category for the IFBB Mr World title. In that very same year, he also won gold in the World Bodybuilding Championships in the middleweight class to become Singapore's first ever IFBB Mr Universe after taking silver the previous year. His outstanding efforts earned him the Singapore Sports Council's Sportsman of the Year title twice in 1992 and 1993, and an induction into the Singapore Sports Council's Hall of Fame, upon which he was presented with a glittering trophy in the shape of a laurel wreath.

In 2003, Azman made a much-anticipated comeback to the world of bodybuilding, taking the bronze medal in the SEA Games. He avenged his loss there with a spectacular victory at the 2004 South-East Asian Bodybuilding Championships, capping off his return to the summit of Southeast Asian bodybuilding in style.

NFFT: How did you pick up bodybuilding?

Jordan : My passion in bodybuilding started at the tender age of 16. I love the pump when I train. And since then, it has become my lifestyle. At age 19, I did my first competition - Muscle War 1997. During this 14 years of training, I painstakingly fine tune my training and dieting regime through trial, error and experimentation to improve my physique. I had a victorious win in the NUS Fitness & Muscle War as the champion in 2004.

NFFT: How do you feel when you are being selected to represent Singapore in the SEA games?

Jordan : Surprised! I couldn’t believe it. I was apprehensive at first but now I am ready for it. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t come in the top 3 positions. But I guess the judges have seen the potential in me. So I am ready to give my next best shot.

NFFT: What objectives did you set for this competition?

Jordan : Bodybuilding is a very subjective sport. Each time you diet down for a competition, your body responds differently. I just want to do my best in every competition I am in. Even if I should fail, I shall not despair as I know I have done my best.

NFFT: How is your preparation for the competition?

Training

Jordan : I train 3 days on 2 days off. I incorporate cardiovascular into my training schedule at least 3 – 4 times per week. When the contest draws closer I will add additional cardio in the morning to tighten myself up especially in the abdominal area.

I cycle different training principles like drop sets, pyramid sets, superset and giant set to “shock” my muscles.

Nutrition

Jordan : I eat as often as I can, at least 6-7 meals per day. Like any other bodybuilders, chicken breast, steak, fish and eggs are my staples diet.

I’m a firm believer of Atkins diet. In fact I follow strictly to Dr Atkins dietary plans to lose weight.

High fat on butter, red meat, chicken thigh meat, EFAs like Flaxseed for my weight loss program, eliminating carbs completely.

Coming close to my competition, I’ll cut back on my sodium and carbo load to fill up my glycogen.

Despite doing Atkins, I never forego greens in my diet. They are essential for healthy bowels movements and contain anti-oxidants properties too.

Supplements

Jordan : My recommendations:
MAN Vaporize

Nutri-Forefront Whey Blend

Primaforce Glutaform

Primaforce ZMA

Primaforce Fuze (Tribulus)

Primaforce Thermal Rage

Syntrax Swole V2

Syntrax R ALA

Supplements are essential when you are dieting down for competition. Supplements enhance your recovery and energize you before hitting the gym.

NFFT: What are the challenges you faced during your preparation?

Jordan : Juggling between a full time job and bodybuilding is not easy. Further more, dieting can cause you to be temperamental at times and frustrations built up easily. Fortunately with my friends, family support and understanding, I overcome the odds. Just a side note, I will include one junk meal over the weekend just to curb my sanity. Ha…

NFFT: Have your expectations been met?

Jordan : As long as I can, I would want to compete in more show and win my first international event.

NFFT: What would you like to see the future of Bodybuilding in Singapore?

Jordan : More media coverage and sponsorship. We work really hard and without good sponsors and supplements endorsement, the athletes can’t go far.

NFFT: Any encouragement words or advice for those who are keen to participate in competition?

Jordan : Build up a strong foundation first before deciding to enter your first competition. To compete, it’s a lot of hard work and determination.

You need lots of blessing from family and love ones in order to achieve the dreams you want to be.
