Adam Read - Fitness Model and Male Bodybuilder

Adam Read Bodybuilding Biography

As a child I was always into sport. I played at county and club level in numerous different sports: gymnastics, athletics, football, rugby, table tennis and attended the School of Excellence for basketball. So mentally and physically the training ethos was embedded in me from a young age and it became some what autonomous. I was hoping to become a professional athlete, when this didn’t happen I carried on training in the gym and enjoyed developing my physique, until I was approached and asked if I did bodybuilding competitions. This sent me on a new route of bodybuilding and fitness. Whilst I was at university at Roehampton studying sport and social science I researched into the bodybuilding side of sport, alongside sports science. I tried to interlink the science with knowledge from the bodybuilding community – a lot of this knowledge was and still is based on self experimentation, passed down knowledge and assumption.

When I finished university I started to put some of the bodybuilding community’s philosophies to practise. This is when I did my first regional show and placed second. After experiencing how my body reacted I then adjusted the philosophy with some science and I came third in my first national show. By this point I had really begun to learn and understand how my body reacted to physical exercise and nutrition, and my own philosophy was beginning to emerge. I then started training for Mr Titan Body Fitness and Best Physique categories in London where I put my new philosophies together and placed first in both.

I then decided to do a show in Los Angeles in the

. I really took a leap of faith into my own ability to read my body and applying the correct science. This is where I learnt the health and fitness industry is very controversial, with many different opinions on training and nutrition. I found the best thing to do is to keep a flexible and open mind and understand that we are all individuals with different physical make ups, designed to live in a world with hunters and gatherers.
