  • Malaysian actor Aniq Suhair is focusing on building muscle mass rather than participating in the popular Hyrox fitness competition.
  • Suhair stated he is not driven by trends and is pursuing personal fitness goals, aiming to increase his weight and muscle definition.
  • He trains four times a week and has been following this routine for a year, balancing it with his acting schedule and prioritizing adequate rest and supplements.

Malaysian actor Aniq Suhair is deliberately sidestepping the trending Hyrox fitness competition, prioritizing a different personal fitness objective: building muscle mass. The 24-year-old actor, whose full name is Muhammad Aniq Suhair Mohd. Salleh, clarified that he is not one to follow trends simply because they are popular.

I am not bound by things that are currently trending. If something becomes a trend, let others do it. I am not a 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) person.

— Aniq SuhairMalaysian actor explaining his decision not to participate in the popular Hyrox fitness competition.

"I am not bound by things that are currently trending. If something becomes a trend, let others do it. I am not a 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) person," Suhair told Utusan Malaysia recently. He explained that his body transformation goals differ significantly from the demands of Hyrox, which emphasizes endurance. "My body shape target is different. Now I want to gain weight and build muscle. Hyrox, on the other hand, puts more emphasis on endurance, so that is not my focus right now."

Suhair emphasized that his pursuit of physical change is not driven by acting roles or preparation for action films, but rather by personal challenge. "I am building my body not because of a project, but because I want to test my own capabilities. I want to see how far I can reach my best," he stated.

My body shape target is different. Now I want to gain weight and build muscle. Hyrox, on the other hand, puts more emphasis on endurance, so that is not my focus right now.

I am building my body not because of a project, but because I want to test my own capabilities. I want to see how far I can reach my best.
