A father who wanted to keep up with his two daughters shed 21kg and placed fifth in his first bodybuilding competition in Kuala Lumpur.
Muhammad Aidil Mohamed Sis, 37, weighed 92kg in 2025 before deciding to change his lifestyle to become fitter for his children, Berita Harian (BH) reported on Friday (Oct 16).
"Every time my children wanted to do an activity, I would do it for a while before getting tired," BH quoted him as saying.
The Singapore-based Aidil said he wondered why he could not spend more time doing activities with his daughters, Aneesa Muhammad Aidil, seven, and Adeena Muhammad Aidil, 11.
Aidil, a podcaster with The Common Folks and a freelance fitness coach, began training to lose weight in November 2025, and his interest in bodybuilding grew after he met competitors who encouraged him to give it a try.
His wife, Siti Juleiha Ishak, also supported the idea, telling him: "Just try it once, since you're already interested."
With her support and guidance from two coaches, he began preparing for the competition in January this year, balancing gym sessions, cardio and meal planning with work and family commitments.
"People may only see the few minutes we spend on stage, but they don't see the months of sacrifice behind the scenes," he told BH.
He said maintaining his diet for months was more challenging than training, and he prepared and weighed his own meals to avoid burdening his homemaker wife.
A fan of sweet treats, Aidil also had to control his cravings for chocolate and ice cream, sometimes opting for sugar-free chocolate instead.
On Oct 11, Aidil weighed 71kg and finished fifth among 12 competitors in the first-timer Men's Physique category at the Physical Culture Association Malaysia competition in Kuala Lumpur.
He told BH he had not expected to place fifth in his debut, adding that the achievement was meaningful given that never imagined himself competing on stage.
The experience also taught him valuable lessons about discipline and perseverance, reinforcing the importance of staying committed to his goals despite the challenges.
Aidil hopes his journey will inspire others to lead healthier lives.
"I don't want this journey to end with just a medal. I want it to be something that can benefit the community," he said.

一位父亲为了跟上两个女儿的步伐，减重 21 公斤，并在吉隆坡举行的首场健美比赛中获得第五名。
据《每日新闻》（Berita Harian，简称BH）周五（10月16日）报道，37岁的穆罕默德·艾迪尔·穆罕默德·西斯（Muhammad Aidil Mohamed Sis）在2025年体重为92公斤，之后他决定改变生活方式，让自己更健康，以便更好地照顾孩子。
“每当我的孩子们想做某项活动时，我都会陪他们玩一会儿，直到我感到疲倦为止，”BH援引他的话说。
居住在新加坡的艾迪尔表示，他很疑惑为什么自己不能花更多的时间陪伴他的女儿们，七岁的阿妮莎·穆罕默德·艾迪尔和十一岁的阿迪娜·穆罕默德·艾迪尔。
艾迪尔是播客节目《普通人》的主持人，也是一名自由健身教练。他于 2025 年 11 月开始进行减肥训练，在遇到一些参赛选手并受到鼓励尝试后，他对健美的兴趣日益浓厚。
他的妻子西蒂·朱莱哈·伊沙克也支持这个想法，并告诉他：“既然你已经感兴趣了，那就试一次吧。”
在她的支持和两位教练的指导下，他从今年一月开始备战比赛，在健身、有氧运动和膳食计划与工作和家庭责任之间寻求平衡。
“人们可能只看到我们在舞台上的几分钟，但他们看不到幕后几个月的牺牲，”他告诉BH。
他说，几个月来坚持这种饮食习惯比训练更具挑战性，为了不给做家庭主妇的妻子增加负担，他自己准备和称量饭菜。
艾迪尔酷爱甜食，但他也不得不控制自己对巧克力和冰淇淋的渴望，有时会选择无糖巧克力代替。
10 月 11 日，艾迪尔体重 71 公斤，在吉隆坡举行的马来西亚体能文化协会比赛中，首次参赛的男子健体组 12 名选手中排名第五。
他告诉BH，他没想到自己首次参赛就能获得第五名，并补充说，考虑到他从未想过自己会站在舞台上比赛，这个成就意义非凡。
这段经历也教会了他关于自律和毅力的宝贵经验，让他更加明白即使面对挑战也要坚持实现目标的重要性。
艾迪尔希望他的经历能够激励其他人过上更健康的生活。
“我不想让这段旅程仅仅以一枚奖牌告终。我希望它能为社会带来益处，”他说。
