Jeff Seid - handsome guy with the figure of an ancient Greek god

Jeff Seid is a bodybuilder, winner of numerous competitions, model, trainer and author of a book for beginners. From a very early age he could not imagine himself separately from sports. And his success, which required systematic work to achieve, is motivation for many other bodybuilders.

Seid's biography pages

Jeffrey Seid was born on June 12, 1994 in Renton, Washington. At the age of 5 he began to be interested in sports. Dad sent the boy to the athletics section and football. By the time he was a teenager, he had become familiar with the biographies of weightlifting champions and their training. The desire to please girls pushed me to pick up the shells. I received a set of sports equipment as a gift from my parents for my 12th birthday.

An innocent hobby soon grew into a serious hobby and took up all my free time. However, Jeff stubbornly dreamed of becoming a football player. He was driven by ambition and the desire to “leave behind a long memory.” The guy actively trained and played in the city’s national football team. For this he received a scholarship that allowed him to pay for his studies at college. Everything was going great until Jeff tore his cruciate ligament . After rehabilitation, 2 months later, the story repeated itself. This forced me to finally change the type of sports activity.

Successes of the handsome guy in Men's Physique

By the will of fate, he began to participate in beach bodybuilding competitions. Even before the first operation, the guy drew attention to the new category “Mens Physicist” on the website bodybuilding.com. This is where 6 years of experience in carrying iron came in handy. At the premiere performance he took a prize. A year later, he received professional status and became the youngest member of the IFBB federation. 2012-13 became key in a sports career. Jeff Seid often competed and never finished lower than 2nd place. In 2014, it dropped down one notch. However, the performance at Olympia was unsuccessful; it was not possible to rise above the 11th position.

Seid took a break and began shooting for the covers of Iron Man and Men's Fitness. Wrote a book with a step-by-step guide for bodybuilders, was involved in business . In 2016, he competed in Stockholm Pro with renewed vigor and won , beating Anton Antipov and Denis Gusev. Jeff Seid continues to train hard in 2017-18 and is preparing to conquer the Olympia.

Interesting Facts

Outside of bodybuilding, Seid is incredibly successful online. He has an Instagram account with almost 4 million fans, as well as a million-dollar YouTube channel. The guy is an active user of social networks.

The athlete collaborates with Redcon1 and Fitplan. In addition, he launched his own store, Seidwear, where his own line of sportswear and accessories is presented. The athlete also became the author of the book “Guide To Aesthetics”.

In 2016, Jeffrey met with Russian fans at the SN PRO exhibition. Here he will present a new clothing brand “Team Seid”.

It is known that the athlete managed to prove himself as a fitness instructor. Among his training systems there is one dedicated to girls. He has developed a specific training schedule that will help women gain muscle mass while losing fat, and Jeff is successfully promoting it.

“Without proper nutrition, I would go nowhere”

Based on his own bad experiences, Jeff recommends creating a menu based on your body composition and experimenting with diet options. Although his diet contains a lot of sports nutrition, the main mission in building strong muscles is given to nutrition.

“My favorite supplement is a gainer. I can’t eat constantly to gain the required 5000 kcal, so I choose sports drink with a minimum of sugar. I make sure that the composition contains complex carbohydrates and proteins that promote mass gain, not weight.”

Jeff doesn't take pre-workout supplements and advises "spending your money on good food" instead. Doping recommends taking it in case of acute lack of energy.

Athlete's menu:

1. Steamed oatmeal with banana + egg whites + Animal Pak, Chromium Picolinate.
2. Gainer + milk + spoon of flaxseed oil.
3. Poultry or fish + brown rice.
4. Before work: Nutrex Hemorage Black.
5. During - Optimum Nutrition BCAA.
6. After that - a portion of gainer + banana + creatine + vitamin C.
7. A protein dish with a side dish of complex carbohydrates.
8. Casein protein + ZMA before bed.

How did you get started in bodybuilding?

Owen: We were both born in a small town called Kendal, England.
As boys we were always involved in sports, so I guess you could say we were born to do it. Lewis: We didn't really get along with each other when we were younger, we always fought like brothers, you know? We played together for the same football teams here in the UK at a high professional level.

We played in different positions and always shouted at each other during the match if one of us made a mistake or did something wrong. After finishing school, I continued to play football professionally, although I felt that my life’s passion lay elsewhere. When my contract with the club ended, I started individual training.

Owen: I left school and joined the Royal Marines, one of the best military units in the world. At the age of 17, I completed the toughest military course in the world.

I left the infantry in 2012 after serving for four years and then became an individual instructor. We transitioned into fitness modeling three years ago after doing our first photo shoot together. Shortly after our first session, Muscle and Fitness contacted us to see if we would be interested in filming for them under our own unique brand. Since then we have been featured in national newspapers, celebrity magazines, fitness websites and even more fitness magazines in the UK and around the globe.

Lewis: Building the Harrison Twin brand wasn't easy, but we worked our butts off to get to where we are today in the industry.

Jeff Seid and his hardcore training program

“I change it constantly to make the muscles grow. The jock intuitively senses when the muscles get used to it and radically changes the pattern. I just pump my abs for 15 minutes without stopping, choosing exercises according to my mood.”

The weekly plan is based on local training and supersets.

On Monday the focus is on the ankles and torso. In respect of:

• Dumbbell lateral raises and bench presses with a medium grip and a raised back;
• “Butterfly” and bench press on a horizontal surface;
• upside down presses + dips;
• “donkey” climbs;
• press work

On Tuesday, my legs were targeted. Jeff uses:

• front squats and classic barbell squats;
• hack squats and bench curls while lying on the machine;
• platform presses.

He devotes Wednesday to working on his hands from different angles. In complex:

• biceps and triceps curls while sitting and lying down;
• work in the Scott machine + classic French barbell press + isolated biceps curls;
• working out the abdominal muscles.

On Thursday, according to the schedule, spin. In a programme:

• deadlift;
• chin-up rows and head pull-ups;
• horizontal rows of a block to the chest with a wide grip + pull-ups;
• T-bar row and lat row
• press.

On Friday, pump up delta trisets with the help of:

• swinging dumbbells in front of you and to the sides from a straight position and in an inclined position;
• pull to the chin;
• shrugs with a barbell.

Sixth day - repeat the program of the first day. On Sunday it is restored, then repeats the program in a circle.

Monday: Chest/Calves/HIIT

Superset:

• Bent-over barbell press: 4 sets of 10, 8, 8, drop set 6, to failure

Not a superset:

• Seated calf raise: 4 to 15

It seems like you two grew up to be little rivals. This extends to the gym.

Owen: There's a little bit of competition at times, which we think is good. It helps us push each other to achieve our goals. When representing a twin brand, we both need to look very similar; such is the brand. Therefore, we need the same workout plan and the same diet throughout the year to maintain our shape and look similar to each other.

Lewis: The rivalry between us comes up when we train together. This attitude: “I won’t let my brother defeat me,” comes from our youth.

I remember back in school, Owen always ran the 100m in competitions for our school; he was considered the fastest boy of our age at that time. I always avoided the 100m and ran the 400m for our school. Last year I wanted to run the 100m. I'm tired of the 400m. I beat Owen in the 100m by 5 milliseconds, which drove him crazy. As you can see, this little rivalry has been present in training since we were young teenagers and is present in our weight training today.

There is nothing wrong. It's always good when someone stimulates you.

Dreams that crumble

Around the time that coincided with the end of three years of high school, he could boast of incredible success in the path of sports. Everything was given to the ambitious Jeff: wrestling, football, running records. Achievements made it possible to apply for a scholarship, and not without results. It was this money that made it possible to easily afford higher education, as Seid notes.

Dreams collapsed, as it happens, one day, shattered by a sports injury. First football game, senior year, torn ACL. This period of life was dominated by depression and melancholy; the young man, accustomed to the fact that his life consisted of physical activity, was literally suffocating from sadness. First, my desire to play sports in college was reduced to smithereens. Secondly, goodbye scholarships. Accordingly, there was no talk of paying for higher education. A few months later the ligament was torn again. According to Jeff, he “finally decided that life was over. Heh..."

Biography

Lifting for Dummies

Jeff first started training at the early age of 12 years old. He asked his parents for a set of weights for his 12th birthday. He was lucky enough to receive a bench press, dumbells, 50lbs of weights, 30lbs barbell and a training book “Weight Lifting For Dummies.” Jeff still has the very same book today that started it all off.

He admits his main reason for getting into shape in the beginning, was to impress girls. But things soon changed as he started to get serious about training and the lifestyle. He now lives and breathes training and devotes his life to creating the perfect physique. “Training is a lifestyle now. I can't imagine life without it. Working out is as much a part of me as my own skin and bones.”

Sports Injury

Jeff was an avid sports person at school, playing high school football and also being an All-American wrestler, his sights were set on a scholarship for sports that he hoped to continue in college. Things were looking good for Jeff, the path looked set and clear.

In his very first football game of the senior year, Jeff broke his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Soon after surgery, things went downhill for Jeff, his motivation dropped off and found it extremely difficult to pick himself back up again. But there was a ray of hope when Jeff discovered bodybuilding (Men's Physique).

He set his sights on competing and regaining his confidence, Jeff said; “I was depressed for a short period of time after the surgery. But I knew just dwelling on it wasn’t going to do any good for me, so I just told myself shit happens and planned a new future for myself.”

America's Youngest IFBB Pro

With this new found motivation, Jeff went forward and started preparing for his first competitions. Soon after starting, he will have his ACL again for the second time only 3 months after the first surgery. With these constant setbacks, Jeff 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.
