Tamer Barakat was born and raised in Egypt on January 15, 1971. Barakat was drawn to sports from a young age. The first sport Barakat played was football (soccer), and by the time he was a teenager, Barakat was competing at the national level in judo. As part of Barakat\u2019s judo training, he lifted weights. Tamer Barakat fell in love with weightlifting and the transformation his body made in the gym.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Barakat\u2019s late teens, he started bodybuilding and loved the camaraderie of the sport. From 19-21, Barakat competed and won national-level amateur competitions. Since Tamer Barakat was a natural (no doping), he was discouraged at 21 once he realized he couldn\u2019t compete with fair competition. Therefore, he quit competing. Although, he continued to train since he loved being in the gym.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Barakat relocated to the USA at the age of 27 for work. However, it wasn\u2019t until age 49 that Barakat found the INBA PNBA and natural bodybuilding. Ironically, Barakat thought his time competing in bodybuilding was done, but it was just the beginning. Tamer Barakat stated:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI always wondered why I stayed consistent with my training and nutrition for that long, for almost 30 years since my last comp at the age of 21, now I know why!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
