Personal trainer

Joey Ansah, one of the creators of Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist , had asked Mike Moh to collect even beforeofficially signing him up for roles in TV series. To make sure he was prepared for the screen presence he demanded, he hit the gym six days a week. To make sure he wasn’t exercising too much, he limited his workouts to 1 hour.

He focused on lifting heavy weights over a low rep range and with little rest in between. The goal was to shock his body to expand his figure. The emphasis was on lifting a heavy weight off the floor, making powerlifting moves like squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses an integral part of his training.

He had one workout for squats and deadlifts, another for chest and triceps, and a separate one for back and biceps.

See his training videos on Instagram here and here.

When it came to dieting, he consumed 3000-4000 calories a day. He ate as much as possible. Overall, he ate a lot of protein and a limited amount of carbohydrates. He had to get up in the middle of the night to get mass gainer protein shakes
