Jeff Seid had a full career in sports laid out in front of him, being an All-American wrestling champion, and a high school football player. Jeff believed that nothing could go wrong.
Until one day in his first senior football game, an unforeseeable injury changed everything. Rising up to the challenge, Jeff became America’s youngest ever IFBB Pro
America’s Youngest IFBB Pro
With this new found motivation, Jeff went forward and started preparing for his first bodybuilding competitions. Soon after starting, he tore his ACL again for the second time only 3 months after the first surgery. With these constant setbacks, Jeff seid never gave up.
He kept on pushing forward for his IFBB Pro card. With a deep drive and a passion to win, Jeff became America’s youngest professional competitive bodybuilder in history in the IFBB league.
Cardio
When Jeff does cardio, it’s always in the form of HIIT. He’ll do a 10-15 minute work out every other day to burn the fat. His preferred method is the bike where he’ll keep his RPM over 120 for 30 seconds on level 15, then go down to level 5 for 30 seconds for a rest period. This he will do for 10 minutes straight.
