American Football vs. Bodybuilding
An Nguyen was born and raised in San Jose, the biggest city in Northen California. Throughout his early childhood, An developed a strong connection to sports, particularly American Football. When An first entered the gym at the age of 12, it was to help him improve his performances on the football pitch. Initially, An planned on becoming a professional football player. However, as An progressed in the gym, he became more and more interested in lifting weights. Eventually, An started questioni...
Bodybuilding Beginnings
Coming into college, An had to choose whether he wanted to continue playing football or take a‘leap of faith’into bodybuilding. Ultimately, he went with bodybuilding. Wanting to build a muscular and well-rounded physique, An set his sights on the likes of Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler, and Shawn Ray– using their physiques as a benchmark for his goals. Devising his first training and nutrition plan, An began exercising with weights five days a week. In addition, he’d do 30 minutes of cardio each...
Early Competitions
After several months of training and dieting, An was ready to compete in a bodybuilding show. Entering the teenage INBA Oakland Silver and Black Muscle Classic contest, An went on to claim his first victory that day. Here’s An talking about his experience competing for the very first time; “I really didn’t know what I was doing. I competed in the teenage class and placed first due to I was the only one but the audience and the people working the show was amazed at how built I was for a teenag...
Training Like a Bodybuilding
An Nguyen trains similarly to other pro bodybuilders. He starts his workouts with heavy multi-joint exercises which induce the most muscle growth. As his workout progresses, An will move on to isolation exercises to target a specific muscle group. He’ll do 3-5 sets per exercise, and 8-12 reps per set. An’s favorite and strongest muscle to train is his chest. On the other hand, a body part which An would like to improve is his back.
An Ngyuen’s Cardio Training
An says, the amount of cardio he does depends on whether he competes or not. When he’s not competing, An won’t do cardio very often – perhaps two times per week. However, when there’s a competition coming up, An will do cardio every day, for about 60 minutes.
Changes in the Diet
An’s bodyweight fluctuates between 220lbs during contest preparations, and around 260 during the ‘off-season.’This means, his diet changes significantly between these two periods. When preparing for a show, An greatly reduces his calorie intake from carbohydrates and fats. To preserve his muscle tissue in a caloric deficit, An increases his protein intake to consume about 1.6-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. On the other hand, during the ‘off-season,’An’s diet is much more relaxed...
