He plunged into the world of fitness from his college days. From an young boy who exercised his physique in various fitness equipment, he turned into an influential muscle man in the international bodybuilding industry. After participating in professional competitions all over the world for many years and winning numerous awards, Terrence Teo finally won the Italian Tsunami professional championship in 2021, and officially qualified for next year's Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding Competition, becoming the first in the history of Malaysia to set foot on the Olympic stage. Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding Competition is the world's highest-level bodybuilding competition, and it is also the highest honor and ultimate dream of every bodybuilder.
First Malaysian To Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding Competition
Don't think anyone can participate in the Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding Competition who has muscles or strength. This stage that every bodybuilder dreams of has a very high barrier to entry. Athletes must first obtain the qualifications of the International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) Elite Professional Cards before they can participate in professional competitions all over the world. More importantly, Only by winning the championship in these international professional competitions can you qualify for the Mr. Olympia. In order to fulfill this dream, Terrence Teo has overcome obstacles in bodybuilding competitions all over the world for many years, and finally qualified to go to the summit of the Mr. Olympia.
Fitness Makes a Tender Young Boy the Muscle Man
"In my twenties, fitness is all about a hobby. After various competitions, dreams and goals are gradually formed. The process is of course very difficult, especially most bodybuilders in Malaysia are at their own expense. For next year's Mr. Olympia, the goal I set for myself is top 5, and I hope it can be achieved."
Recalling the Italian professional game that qualified him for the Olympiad, he still has lingering fears, because he went into the competition that day with an accidental injury: "I remember that I was about to leave for the event after grooming on the day of the competition. I didn't expect to sprain my back when wearing pants. I was in a state where I almost needed medical attention. My injury had worsened when I went to the stadium. Frankly speaking, I thought I was finished. My wish at the time was to try my best to get on stage and accomplish what I had to do. I didn't dare to achieve good results. Unexpectedly, I won the first place."
As a bodybuilder, injury is not unfamiliar to him, but the accidental injury in the Italian competition made him particularly unforgettable, and he even had a different insight: "For bodybuilders, before they set foot on the stage to complete the game, this trip The journey of self-challenge is not complete.” More importantly, his success proved that as long as you don't give up, life has its own surprises.
The through his bodybuilding is both lonely and beautiful!
Terrence's bodybuilding career actually has an unknown story behind it: "I've always loved sports, but the first love affair failed and it made me devote myself more fully to fitness exercises. During that time, I was really crazy about fitness. It was to forget the emotional injury, because fitness exercises require a lot of physical strength and energy." The episode of broken love that year, inadvertent interruption prompted him to redouble his efforts to exercise and unexpectedly gained a strong body (sometimes, loss is also a kind of gain…)
He missed someone who was not suitable for him. Now he has found his soul partner. His girlfriend not only fully supports his bodybuilding career, but is also an advocate in the field of fitness. Every competition will accompany him to become His most gentle and strong backing: "A bodybuilding competition in college made me discover that although a person's height or natural handsomeness cannot be changed, but a strong body can be changed. Bodybuilding allows me to have seen many different landscapes in life, and it has also allowed me to harvest a more exciting and rich life.
Misconceptions about bodybuilding
Terrence said that many people have various misconceptions about bodybuilding. For example, they think that the physique and muscle are illusions created by "drugs". "In fact, this is misleading. Through correct exercise, you can build muscle lines and a strong body. In addition, some people are also very resistant to the so-called fitness diet. They think that most healthy meals are unpalatable. In fact, fitness meals are definitely not unpalatable, and they are not only boiled eggs or hot vegetables. As long as you know how to match it correctly, not only will you look colorful and pleasing to the eye, but it will also be very delicious."
Diet management is key to bodybuilding. Diet accounts for 60%, and the other 40% is exercise: "A person who wants to have a good body must know how to take care of his diet. If you want to sculpt your body, you must make changes. Basically, how much protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., each person needs can be calculated, so that you will know how many calories you need to consume or how many calories you consume every day, and then you can further design a diverse and balanced healthy meal combination for yourself. "He emphasized that everyone can exercise (not everyone needs to be a bodybuilder), because fitness can bring many benefits to health, especially the shaping of a bodybuilding appearance and a healthy body, and it can also improve a person's self-confidence.
