Silvio Samuel - Bodybuilding Battle For The Gold

Join bodybuilding superstar Silvio Samuel in his trip to the Middle East, training in one of the most popular gyms with the most popular Bahrain bodybuilders Tariq Alfarsani and Sasha Pasquet.

Silvio is one of the most feared competitors in the sport of powerlifting today and this film of his journey to Bahrain showcases his dedication and intensity towards achieving his goals.

Silvio Samuel Saviour was born in 1975 in Brazil, but soon moved with his six sisters and one brother to Nigeria. As is the custom in Nigeria, he answers to any one of his three given names. Ivan Ganev, the coach of the Nigerian national weightlifting team, spotted him playing soccer when he was 14 and recognized the youth´s potential for powerlifting and invited him to join the team. Two months later he entered his first meet as a junior and won. Over the next few years he set powerlifting records for Nigeria and Africa that still haven´t been broken. Traveling with the National Team, he developed an appetite for new places and languages (he speaks eight fluently today). Silvio would later journey to Russia as a young man to study advanced training methods and to pursue study in aeronautical engineering.
