Doudou Sene prays after breaking his fast at a gym during the holy month of Ramadan in Dakar, on February 23, 2026. What started as small workouts in one of the many outdoor gyms that proliferate in Dakar slowly turned into a passion for Doudou Sene. People kept telling him that he had potential in the world of fitness, and in 2019 he began to train seriously. In 2021, he participated in his first powerlifting competition in Dakar and finished first in the under?83 kg category. Soon after, he traveled to The Gambia for another competition, where he finished third. After succeeding as a powerlifter, he decided to switch to bodybuilding, a little?known sport in Senegal with few role models, such as Sidy Pouye, who has managed to build a successful career abroad as a bodybuilder. People don’t know much about the sport, but that doesn’t stop Doudou from following his passion. During the holy month of Ramadan, training and maintaining a proper diet become challenging. Doudou normally eats five to six meals a day to maintain his gains, but during Ramadan this is reduced to two or three. He prefers to train at the gym where he works right before breaking the fast, and then stays late to help clients with their workouts. Family and religion are his driving forces as he continues pushing himself, even during Ramadan, to achieve his goal of making a living as a bodybuilder and providing for his family.
