Jeff Seid Biography

I was born June 12th, 1994 in Renton,
Washington, United States. I began
playing sports at the young age of 5
and it was essentially the beginning of
what has become an epic journey.
I was always a very athletic kid growing
up and I soon realized that being
physically strong and in great shape
helped give me an even greater
advantage over my competition. This
desire and overwhelming passion to be
different than everyone else inspired me
to begin lifting weights at the age of 12.
It is this passion to be unique that gives
me the drive and motivation to be the
best, and accomplish all that I can so
that one day, when I die, my name will
live on for ever.
Going into my senior year of high school
I was an All-American wrestler, All-
State football player, and had set
multiple records in track. I had multiple
full ride scholarships for football and
wrestling and pretty much planned on
having my college education paid for
through sports. But sometimes life
doesn’t happen the way you expect. My
first football game of my senior year I
tore my ACL and shattered my dreams.
It was a pretty depressing time in my
life. Not only was my dream of playing
sports in college shattered but all of my
scholarship offers were gone, leaving me
with no way to pay for college. I tore my
ACL a 2nd time a couple months later
and definitely thought my life was over
lol.
A few days before my 1st surgery, I was
on the bodybuilding.com website and I
stumbled across the new bodybuilding
category called Men’s Physique. I had
been training consistently for 6 years at
that time and knew this was my calling.
Needless to say, a month later I tried it
out and won the overall title at my first
show. Exactly a year after my first
competition I went on to win the Jr.
Nationals competition which made me
the youngest IFBB Professional in
history! Two months after becoming an
IFBB Pro I won my first Pro show that
qualified me to step on stage at the first
ever Mr. Olympia Men’s Physique
Showdown.
This is just the beginning of my journey
that has taken me to various parts of
the world and has introduced me to
many incredible people. I’m very excited
about this new chapter in my life and to
see what this world has in store for me!
