Natural Male Bodybuilder - Cedric Carvalho

I have been working out serious for the past 8 years. I got started around middle school between the ages of 15-16. I set the "pound for pound" bench press record in eighth grade. From that day forward I knew I had a gift of strength. My inspiration was my uncle Carlos. He would bring me along with him to the gym every day. As a youngster I was first intimidated. There was nobody my age at the facility. Through observing the proper techniques, asking questions, and following safety precautions I started to become more at ease. After a few months of training I truly loved working out.

Throughout high school I was a double sport athlete. I played football and baseball. I realized working out would have to become a part of my life, because of the competitiveness in these two sports. The skills in becoming bigger, faster, and stronger were imbedded in my mind and heart.

My workout regimen changes every 4-6 weeks. My body adapts quickly to specific workouts, thus having me to change up the routine often. A typical week at the gym would consist of Monday chest workout, Tuesday back, Wednesday Quads, Thursday shoulders, Friday biceps, triceps, and forearms and Saturday hamstrings. I also incorporate abdominals and calves ever other day. My diet regiment usually depends on what season I am in. I eat clean throughout the week and give myself a cheat meal once per week, usually on a Sunday afternoon. My supplements are pretty basic. I use animal paks, bcaa's, amino acids, and a pure whey protein.

In five years I see myself personal training individuals to reach their goals and satisfactions. Spreading my knowledge in the important aspects of physical fitness is what I intend to do. I'm also thinking about graduate school. I also have big plans for my bodybuilding career in the future. I plan on competing in April of 2007.

John Mitchell of Bbpics.com is a good friend of mine and he definitely knows how to photograph specific individuals. He has great experience in different locations and landscapes. He is also very professional and understands the goals of his clients. My best experiences in a photo shoot have been with John Mitchell. Through our photo shoots I have encountered and become friends with many of his cliental.

I feel hard work, dedication, and determination will best describe me as an individual. I set achievable goals and when I reach them I set more. I never settle for less and I put 110% effort in whatever I do. I believe my ethics in hard work and dedication will lead to success in the fitness modeling and bodybuilding business. My first bodybuilding contest was October of 2005. It was a USBF all natural show in Seekonk, MA. I entered the junior's class and the men's open light heavyweight class. I placed 1st in both classes. My next show came in May of 2006. I entered the Musclemania show in East Haven, CT. I entered the junior's class and placed 3rd out of 33 contestants.
