In a recent interview with Desktop Bodybuilding, Brandon Curry, the 2019 Mr. Olympia winner, provided a comprehensive look into his preparations, mindset, and aspirations for the 2023 Mr. Olympia title. Hosted by Xavier Wheels, the interview offers a detailed perspective into the life of a top-tier bodybuilder.
The Perfect Bodybuilding Environment in Kuwait
Kuwait has emerged as a hub for bodybuilders, offering an environment that’s conducive to their rigorous training and dietary needs. Curry highlighted the benefits of training in Kuwait, emphasizing the availability of resources tailored to a bodybuilder’s lifestyle. The gym in Kuwait, particularly Oxygen Gym, has its own cafe, ensuring that athletes have access to the right nutrition immediately after their workouts.
Moreover, the surrounding area boasts several health-centric restaurants, allowing bodybuilders to maintain their strict diets with ease. Curry mentioned a restaurant aptly named “Grams,” where orders are taken by weight, ensuring precise meal portions. This attention to detail, combined with the competitive atmosphere, makes Kuwait a haven for bodybuilders.
The Real Deal with Oxygen Gyms
While there’s been buzz about Oxygen Gyms expanding to locations like Australia, Curry clarified that these aren’t official expansions from Kuwait. He’s aware of the projects in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia and Dubai, but nothing outside this region. It seems some entities might be using the renowned name without official endorsement.
Life as a Pro in Kuwait
Curry’s experience in Kuwait isn’t just about training. He emphasized that it’s not “solitary confinement” as some might think. Kuwait offers a social environment, especially around the gym scene. Curry often interacts with fellow bodybuilders, sharing meals and conversations, making it a holistic experience. He mentioned Nathan Diasha, a fellow bodybuilder, highlighting the camaraderie they share.
