00:02 Looking at R. Kumareshwaran,

00:05 it's hard to imagine he ever had a confidence problem.

00:08 But confidence was in short supply

00:10 for a young Kumareshwaran.

00:12 At 15, he weighed 110 kilograms

00:15 as the result of eating up to 6,000 calories

00:18 of junk every day.

00:19 That's equivalent to eating 20 roti canais.

00:22 - Old school used to call me a fat kid

00:24 and I was known as a fat kid

00:27 and I was very fat to the point where I had man boobs.

00:32 I was still so embarrassed that sometimes

00:35 I cannot wear a white T-shirt.

00:37 I used to put a masking tape around

00:39 and cover it up because I was feeling very insecure.

00:43 - One day, Kumareshwaran decided that enough was enough.

00:48 - At one point when I felt like this is it,

00:51 I just stopped everything overnight.

00:53 I stopped everything and I just started

00:56 doing what was necessary because I liked food,

01:00 but more than that, I liked the physique.

01:02 So I had to weigh which one I wanted.

01:05 - He began a strict and grueling fitness regime,

01:08 losing weight and gaining confidence in the process.

01:11 There was no going back.

01:13 The accounting student continued sculpting his physique

01:16 and even scored junior titles

01:18 in several bodybuilding competitions.

01:20 - I spent two years in this industry,

01:22 the fitness industry, and if it doesn't work out,

01:25 then maybe I'll go back to what I'm supposed to do

01:29 as an accountant.

01:31 So then I just tried and I started winning shows

01:34 and then from there one did to the other

01:36 and then I ended up opening a gym

01:37 and now I'm full-time bodybuilder.

01:39 - Today, the 38-year-old bodybuilder consumes

01:42 between 2,800 and 4,000 calories a day

01:46 from the six meals he prepares himself

01:48 during the bulking and cutting phases.

01:50 His diet consists of brown rice, oats, vegetables,

01:54 chicken, eggs, fish, and beef.

01:57 But the true source of Kumar Reswaran's strength

02:00 isn't his diet, but his family.

02:03 - They are very supportive because they can,

02:05 those close, they can see their effort

02:07 and the sacrifices made also

02:09 and most of them are very proud of it.

02:12 So I'm very blessed.

02:14 - Kumar Reswaran's hard work has paid off.

02:16 Just last week, he won the Mr. Malaysia 2023 title.

02:20 So what's next for Mr. Malaysia?

02:22 More training, of course.

02:24 Kumar Reswaran will compete in the World Bodybuilding

02:26 and Physique Championships in South Korea next month

02:29 and he has his eye on the prize.

02:31 - Every time I go, I wanna win.

02:33 I wanna win, I mean, that's my goal.

02:36 - Danish Rajareza and Frankie D'Cruz, FMT News.
