This was opposite to most bodybuilders, who usually get huge in the ‘off-season’ and then ‘cut’ down bodyweight before a competition.

Michael Daboul doesn’t compromise on his diet; he takes a clean and protein-based diet. Michael takes around 5-6 meals daily, depending on his diet schedule. Now he will rock in Mr. Olympia 2022 among the top bodybuilder.
