WORK OUT: Hairol Tarmizi Taha, the former middleweight 2010 and 2011 champion said that bulking up to 200 pounds and building muscle at that weight should ensure that he would be able to compete in the heavyweight division.

KUCHING: Although the year may soon end, it will be well remembered by local bodybuilders Dennis Ateng Jeros, Mohd Faizal Razali, Malvern Abdullah, Densi Runya, Awang Mohamad Azizul Ghani and Saiful Bahri Norshidi.

But for Hairol Tarmizi Taha, being a taller bodybuilder is a disadvantage and it would swirl beneath the glory and acclaim that he is longing for.

“I am 5feet 9 inch and 198 pounds would be on his frame quite well. Being a taller bodybuilder, I have a disadvantage when stepping onto the stage when competing against others who are in the same weight class, but much shorter, 210 pounds looks way more impressive on guy who is 5feet 6 inch than a guy who is 5 feet 9 inch,” he told The Borneo Post recently.

Hairol the former middleweight 2010 and 2011 champion said that bulking up to 200 pounds and building muscle at that weight should ensure that he would be able to compete in the heavyweight division.

“Therefore in order to compete in next year’s championship I have to increase my bodyweight as to improves strength, improving strength means I can provide heavier weight to stimulate more muscle growth than if I were lighter,” he explained.

Hairol also revealed that dietary changes that are taking place to increase his bodyweight are through manipulating how many carbohydrates I get during pre workout, workout and post workout and through his dietary fats taking at night.

“Previously, I was taking in 0 gram pre workout, 50 grams carbohydrates workout, and 50 grams post workout but currently I am taking in 50 grams for pre workout, 100 grams workout and 100 post workout. This is an increase of 150 grams of crabs per training day for 600 calories. Most of the crabs come from dextrose (corn sugar), a bodybuilding staple,” he informed.

Hairol said he is also taking 200 calories worth of dietary fats in his last two meals of the day (from cashews and almonds) and this brings his totally increase to 1000 calories per training day and about 400 calories on non training days.
