In his words: ‘‘One particular day in November 2021, as my twin brother and myself were heading home from work, we came across a very imposing looking bodybuilder by name Ahmed Jnr. We approached him and told him we would like to get tutored by him, and he was happy to take us on. At the beginning, some people mocked us, saying we were too little and could not build muscle mass, but our motivation and determination were unmatched. The results have begun to show and we are proud of the transformation we have achieved so far; in fact, some of our mockers have turned admirers and even students! Our major challenges deal with nutrition, as we have been financially constrained, since we are now responsible for the family due to the passing of our parents. We would love to be world beaters in this sport, and we would really appreciate the support of a sponsor."
