Regular health check-ups crucial in bodybuilding sports - Sazali Samad 

SHAH ALAM - Regular check-ups with doctors and being cautious about supplement intake are very crucial for bodybuilding sports, says Sazali Samad.

The 10-time Mr Universe World Champion shares concerns about the health issues associated with bodybuilding.

This came after multiple cases of atheletes and bodybuilders who died due to heart attacks.

"One of the reasons for untimely deaths might be the temperature of the gym, excessive use of supplements, and neglecting check-ups with doctors.

"Therefore, gym athletes and bodybuilders should frequently consult doctors.

"In my case, I constantly oversee my son during his training to ensure he is not overexerting himself," he said.

Commenting further, Sazali aspires for his son to continue in this sport and be one of the heirs of his legacy.

"My son has been training for five years, and he has participated in various competitions.

"I wish my son would excel in bodybuilding sports and become one of the heirs of my legacy," he said.
