Widely-known Mayo painting contractor Eddie Doyle has emerged triumphant from the national bodybuilding and fitness finals at the RDS Dublin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Castlebar ace excelled in his efforts by winning an incredible two first placements and a fourth position in a third category.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was an incredible achievement as it is Eddie\u2019s first time taking part in such a competitive event.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His placements were first in the novice event category, first in the Masters over 35 category and fourth place in the True Novice category.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Musclecontest Ireland bodybuilding and fitness event at the RDS is a weekend-long challenge involving hundreds of competitors and features an NPC Worldwide Regional, an IFBB Pro League Pro Qualifier (with 8 Pro Cards on the line), and the IFBB Pro League Bullman Pro Classic Physique Olympia Qualifier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Edward\u2019s success has come about from months of dedicated training, focus and ultimately an extremely regimental diet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A regime that could be quite testing for most but his experience and training as a Karate instructor, holding a Fifth Dan Black Belt, was helpful in maintaining a strict regime of training over the last six months.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In his own words Eddie\u2019s journey to this event started last September 2025 .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He elaborated: \u201cMy daughter and I attended a bodybuilding competition in Limerick. On the way home I decided to enter Musclecontest Ireland.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“That evening I weighed 101kg. Not totally bad as I have continually trained in Jarate and weight training.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I secured a trainer\/coach, someone to be accountable to. Simon Sadowski has been essential in this endeavour. And away i went.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I can honestly say it’s been the most challenging, rewarding and revealing thing I have ever done.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“People laughed, told me I was crazy. They couldn’t understand or comprehend why or what I was doing. Still can’t. Still won’t. But that’s ok. Why should they?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I joined Goals Gym, a great place with fantastic staff and support.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Family and friends got behind me with slagging and support.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Accumulating in me stepping on stage last Friday, weighing in at 76kg. At that moment, placings were irrelevant, but two firsts and a 4th place were achieved within a few minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Was it worth it? Yes. Absolutely. So much so, I will definitely be doing it all again. It’s the process not the placement. It’s the structure, discipline and concentration of effort.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s was a fantastic experience meeting the most interesting and sincere bunch of lads and ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the back of this inspirational success, Eddie is considering taking part in another competition later in the year<\/p>\n
