My name is Syed Ali. I am a WBFF PRO athlete and an online body recomposition coach.
My love for sports began at an early age. After ending my competitive cricketing career at the age of 17 (due to an injury), I committed my newfound passion to health, fitness, and bodybuilding.
My passion for bodybuilding and dedication to the sport, lead me to compete in several bodybuilding competitions. I continue to pursue my dream of becoming an elite WBFF Fitness Model and represent Australia at the WBFFâs Worlds event.
Favourite Quote: A clear vision, backed by definite plans and hard work, gives you a tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.
Syed's recommendation section is all about getting the most out of training with epic pumps in the gym.
Why I love it: The whey protein blend I rely on during competition prep. My favourite flavour has to be Chocolate but I equally love Rocky road and Salted Caramel.
How I use it: In smoothies, with water post workout, sometimes with milk before bed if I am running low on Casein for recovery.
Why I love it: This is one supplement that is great for strength gains and muscle growth.
How I use it: In water.
Why I love it: Beta alanine is great to have as a pre workout and helps me train harder for longer.
How I use it: Dissolved in water.
Why I love it: My go-to carbs and protein blend during my offseason. The 2:1 carb and protein ratio make it a great product for muscle recovery. In a nutshell, it is a perfect mass gaining supplement.
How I use it: I take it with plain water or low-fat milk. Pre and post-training.
Below is my current training schedule and followed by some of my top training tips.

Between each set I'll usually go with a 60 second break to recovery slightly but still keep my heart rate up.
