Lebanese Classic Physique Champion Tarek Kassatly is my guest on episode 18 of Unjaded. In this episode, we explore how Tarek went from being an obese child to becoming an athlete, the demands and benefits of bodybuilding, and the struggles he faced along the way, including the "Lebanese curse".We also discuss Tarek's experience competing in France, and the impact that his mother's battle with cancer had on his training. We then delve into Steroid use in the sport and its use by non-professionals, discuss the Acups controversy, and the role of gym as therapy.Thank you for watching The Unjaded Podcast.
