Up and coming NPC Bodybuilder, Tobias Young, joins the ON Athletes team and looks forward to even greater gains \u2013 in the gym and on the stage. Optimum Nutrition has joined forces with Tobias Young, who placed an impressive 2nd in the Heavyweight Class at last month\u2019s NPC San Francisco Bodybuilding & Figure Championships. The 33 year old has an extremely impressive physique at 5-feet, 11-inches and 235 pounds. His favorite exercise is dual cable lat pull downs, because of the extra \u2018squeeze\u2019 he gets at the bottom of each rep to build his imposing back.<\/p>\n
Tobias\u2019 inspiration? \u201cWhen I was about 5 years old, I was a fan of The Incredible Hulk on TV. I\u2019d strut around ripping off my shirt and flexing. Since then, I\u2019ve been working hard to put on muscle. In fact, I’ve been training for 20 years,\u201d he said. After stints as a high school and college football player, Tobias found his calling. \u201cI competed in my first bodybuilding competition at the 2002 NPC Border States show, where I placed 2nd in the Novice Class.\u201d Determined to post an even better performance, he won his class at the 2004 NPC Pacific USA Naturals and followed that with an Overall win at the MCRD Muscle Madness competition two weeks later.
