Michael Daboul Diet Plan
Michael Daboul didn’t just stand out in the duration of his size and aesthetics but also in his strategy of dieting for a competition. He was the only man known for achieving weight as his show date approached.
This was opposite to most bodybuilders, who usually get huge in the ‘off-season’ and then ‘cut’ down bodyweight before a competition.
Michael Daboul is clean and protein-based and doesn’t compromise on his diet. Michael takes around 5-6 meals daily, depending on his diet schedule. Now he will rock in Mr. Olympia 2022 among the top bodybuilders.
