My full name is Sami Ebrahim al Haddad and I was born on 24 June 1973, in Muharraq, Bahrain. Today I live in Manama, Bahrain, which is the capital.


I started training in 1991, when I was 18 years old. I started competing in 1992 because I wanted to show the others what I have got and to prove to myself that the sport would reward me if I trained hard enough. I like bodybuilding because I like being and I 've found many friends - they are all strong, BIG!

I want to become a pro bodybuilder and win the big shows, which is easy to say but hard to acheive. I am willing to do what it takes. My grandma says to me "if they can do it, you can do it."

Day 1 - Chest+front shoulders

Day 2 - Arms

Day 3 - Back +rear shoulders

Day 4 - Calf+ Legs


I also do abs every other day and cardio 2 times a weel.


I train at Tigers gym - it's a big place with state of the art equipment. In the off season, I do one body part a day. I also have done some martial arts since I was eleven years old and occasionally include some of that kind of exercise too. Contest preparation is intense and I train twice a day:

  • Day 1: Chest and Front Shoulders
  • Day 2: Arms
  • Day 3: Back and Rear Shoulders
  • Day 4: Calves and legs
  • Abs every other day
  • Cardio twice a week
