He looks like a young Ronnie Coleman with his wide shoulders and massive thighs. Abraham is a 100% natural bodybuilder who likes heavy training and natural food. In a few years he has built a strong, thick and proportioned body with well defined muscles. Bodybuilding contests are a rare stuff in his home country Benin, West Africa. But Abraham never stops training and he's always ready to compete. Last year he won the Benin National Bodybuilding Championship in the heavy weight category. We met him in Cotonou and was very happy to join NTPowerHouse Africa and give his contribution. We can proudly announce today that Abraham is part of our team as our valuable correspondent in the Republic of Benin and he will keep us informed on the bodybuilding activity in his country.

I started my sport career with athletics when I was 15 years old. 100 and 200 meters were my speciality. Later I also practiced javelin and discus. To prepare for these activities I lifted weights in a local gym and my muscles started to grow and develop very fast. I was encouraged by that and decided to focus on muscle development. Today bodybuilding has become my main interest and I would like to become an international champion. Currently I have left athletics and bodybuilding is the only sport that I practice.
I train four times in a week, generally in the evening after work. I'm employed at the Cotonou harbour. Here is my workout schedule: Mondays: pecs and biceps. Tuesdays: thighs and calves. Wednesday: rest. Thursdays: back, hamstrings and triceps. Fridays: shoulders and delts. Saturdays and Sundays: rest. I do abs every morning before going to work. I always train heavy with few reps and different exercices.
Concerning my diet, I have always enjoyed to drink a lot of soy porridge, since the very first days I started to train. I also enjoy plenty eggs and chicken. But as far as food is concerned I really like anything: vegetables, rice, fruits... One of my preferred meal is "akoumé", a product obtained from corn, which is a very common dish in my country Bénin.
