One of the world’s most feared forwards is now Mohammed Salah.
The 31-year-old sensation from Egypt, who has scored an incredible 187 goals for Liverpool in 307 games, kicked off the season last weekend against Bournemouth.
Salah is viewed as a vital component of Jurgen Klopp’s team as they aim for a Champions League berth.
Because of this, the Reds are turning off approaches from Saudi Arabia even as Al-Ittihad are ready to make him the most paid player in the world.
The former Chelsea forward’s exceptional success can be attributed to his tight diet and intense fitness regimen, which included early workouts throughout Ramadan.
Salah has become one of football’s most sculpted players, following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, thanks to that sacrifice.
This is the method he used.
Although Salah occasionally gives himself a cheat day with pizza, what he consumes in his body on a daily basis is essential to his performance.
The Egyptian said to CNN, “Nutrition is so important, it’s part of the game,” regarding his diet.
It has aided in my recuperation, improved my quality of sleep, and sped up my body’s adaptation.
“My dietician says I can eat everything I want because I don’t have any body fat. It’s okay because I don’t drink either.
It’s also true that a pious Muslim is typically quite mindful of what he eats.
He’s going to have a glass of milk and some puffy flatbread called parathas for breakfast.
He will then go for a bowl of fruit if he’s still hungry.
Salah typically eats a larger lunch with more calories. He’s partial to lentils, veggies, bread, chicken, and yoghurt for dessert.
His favourite meal is kushari, an Egyptian classic cooked with rice, macaroni and lentils and topped with onions, tomatoes and chickpeas with spices.
He disclosed: “I call my friend from the airport to buy kushari so we can eat in the car when I go back to Egypt.”
“I immediately start eating it after pulling my hoodie over my head and getting into the car.”
Dinner is typically a light meal, preferably consisting of vegetables, salad, and soup. He’ll wash that down with a glass of sugar-free, fresh fruit juice.
Salah’s passion with training out demonstrates his commitment to his craft.
He works out with weights, bodyweight workouts, plyometrics, yoga, swimming, and stretching techniques while he’s not training with the Reds.
Salah told ON Ent, “Normally, I get up early to go to training, which starts either in the morning or in the afternoon.”
“I then spend nearly two hours recovering. Counselling for any wounds or targeted massage to lessen your body’s pain.
“After that, I visit the club’s gym, which is open to players only. I stretch and recover once more after exercise.
“At last, I visit the club’s pool or hang out at home with Makka, his daughter. I wrap up all of these things at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m.
Salah made sure he worked out every minute of Ramadan to tone his abs.
After fasting during the day, he got up at three in the morning to work out with weights at home.
Salah had a trim build while he was a Chelsea player.
He was undoubtedly less defined even when he was able to find his form while on loan at Fiorentina before clinching a move to Roma.
But now that he’s committed to a diet and regular exercise, his body has undergone an incredible makeover.
The Salah of today is tearing apart his abs and biceps, bursting out of his Liverpool shirt.
He frequently doesn’t hesitate to flaunt his chest in front of his devoted Instagram followers.
Even his teammates are compelled to snap photos of him due to his amazing body.
In 2021, Scotland’s Andy Robertson posted a photo of Salah in a swimming pool without a shirt on.
