Episode 27 - Eddie Abbew

For this week’s podcast I spoke to one of the top names in the UK bodybuilding industry, Eddie Abbew.

Eddie had a very successful career as a bodybuilder. He is a former British overall champion, as well as being one of the only British bodybuilders to qualify for and compete at the open Mr. Olympia. Eddie also worked as a prep coach for 10 years with multiple high-level bodybuilders, so he has seen it all when it comes to the bodybuilding industry.

In this episode, Eddie talks about a range of topics, including;

• His background, including the first time he picked up a weight.
• Experiencing racial abuse while working as a psychiatric nurse and a bouncer in London.
• His journey in bodybuilding and the levels he had to go to in order to get his body in prime condition for competition.
• The mental side of a sport that requires so much dedication.
• Meeting Muhammad Ali, plus much more.

Eddie has had a very, very interesting life and I loved hearing all about it this week.

Enjoy.
