Hi, Cyril is my name. I'm Ghana's strongest man for 2006 and a fourth place winner in the heavy weight category during the Man Ghana show 2006. As part of their project and interest to promote fitness and bodybuilding in Africa, NTPowerHouse has invited me. Upon reaching the gym, I realised the heavy investment made by the company to promote and develop the sports locally. As a matter of fact I was amazed by the standard and friendly manner in which I was handled by the local staff.

I started training at the age of 19 in a local gym named Power gym at Lapaz, Accra. My interest for bodybuilding has since then risen to the extends that it has become like a hobby to me. No matter what I do for the day shall always be summarizd by a good work-out. But now I train five times in a week for two hours each day under the supervision of my trainer Papa Sly whom I greatly respects.

I eat normal local Ghanaian food of which rice is my favourite. Even though bodybuilding require at least 6 meals a day, I eat only four times a day. I take no drugs and no supplements, only natural food. My role-model in bodybuilding is Ronnie Coleman who unfortunately lost to Jay Cutler this year. I work as a bouncer at Bacardi Night Club in Tema Community 4. My hobby is listening to music. To the guys and my fans out there, just get to a gym near you and you will never be the same!!!

Papa Sly is Cyril's coach and a bodybuilder himself.
