Sandy Bontuyan is originally from
Talamban, Cebu City, Philippine. He started bodybuilding in 2004, but only
started competing in the last couple of years. I've haven't actually seen much
photos of him on competitions. So he might not have been doing the bodybuilding
competition circuits as most do.
The best part of his
physique is his back. So he pretty much nails the back double biceps and the
back lat spread. I only see one guy in the Cebu competition that comes close in
terms of back development. Sandy said he needs to improve his abs and legs. At
first I wouldn't have agreed with him, until I saw the Thai champ whose quads
have cuts so deep, it would have been a wooden sculptural a Machete.
Sandy works as a
personal trainer in the then Elite Fitness Gym, which is now bought over by
Gold's in Makati. He also trains in his home gym in Taguig as well as Dondon's
Gym for serious hardcore training. Sandy is one of the few
athletes that qualified for the NAC Mr. Universe 2012 in Germany.
Unfortunately, he did not get the first place in the men's overall category.
That's why he needs sponsors to help him with the preparation for the upcoming
international competition. As you might expect for bodybuilders, he would
be on a 5-8 meals a day eating plan. So all those fish, eggs and chicken bills
do add up.
Plus the ever present
whey protein that seems to be the staple of most bodybuilder's supplementation.
If you want to help out, please spread the word or contact him through facebook.
Sandy is actually pretty
light in terms of supplementation. As he uses only whey protein, and relies
instead on strict diet. He consumes as much as 3 kilos of real food in 8 to 10
meals a day. For whey protein he uses Syntha 6, Ultimate Nutrition and
the new local brand, Aftershock. It makes you wonder where all those food goes,
as he maintains a competition weight of a little less than 70kg in his
5'3" frame. Sandy started competing upon the prodding of his friend Reysan
Nonepara in the La Laguna in 2010. But that did not end well, so he doubled his
efforts and won the succeeding competitions...
