CODY LEWIS
|
|
Cody Lewis is a sensational 19 year old bodybuilder from California. He now stands 5'11"
tall and competes at around 220 lbs. with an off season weight of around 245 lbs. To look at
him now though, you would never believe how he got started with bodybuilding. How this 13
year old skinny boy believed he could be a potential genetic muscle freak, looking at his thin
muscles in the mirror, is a mystery since he absolutely could see in the mirror no signals of
any genetic disposition to build muscles. But Cody Lewis quickly learned to stay halfway
between the imaginary and real worlds. He realized the most important thing for a beginning
junior bodybuilder was to dream and to believe, to long for and to work hard. And Cody learned
that the more lively he could dream about himself as a great bodybuilder, the more strongly
emotions would drive him to really become a great bodybuilder. This power of belief drove
Cody to become one of the biggest and most impressive teen bodybuilders to ever hit the stage.
Cody entered his first show, the 2008 NPC Contra Costa Championships at age 17, winning Teen
Heavyweight, Teen Overall, and taking 4th Place in the Novice Light Heavyweight and 8th Place
in the Open Light Heavyweight Classes, at a weight of 181 lbs. A few weeks later he went on
the stage at the NPC California State Championships, once again winning the Overall Teen and
taking 2nd Place in the Novice Light Heavyweight Class. We saw Cody compete at the Cal show,
and he was impressive. Cody then took time off to focus on building as much muscles he could.
He always had a very lean physique with a fast metabolism, and for him it always was harder to
add mass…until a year later when he reached an outstanding bodyweight at 285 lbs! When in the
off-season, Cody “the Beast” usually trains six times a week (sometimes two bodyparts a day)
since he feels that, because of the extra-feeding he can train his body balls-out. During the
bulking period Cody eats around 10-12 meals a day, very high calories (around 7500!) with about
550 grams of proteins, 450 carbohydrates and 120 grams of fats. While approaching a show he
still trains six days per week, but the duration of each workout shortens and the intensity
level goes – using his own words – “Up through the roof!” . He always loves to train heavy,
unless about two weeks out either for avoiding injuries or because of the lower levels of
energy. Close to a contest Cody eats around 6 meals a day for a total number of kalories of
about 2500. Hi best bodypart is his legs, which he trains extremely heavy with squats, leg
presses, hack squats and leg extensions. Cody's measurements are impressive, with legs in
offseason at 32″, arms offseason at 20″, forearms offseason at 16 1/2″, calves offseason 20″,
chest 48", thighs 27" and neck 16". So after his first impressive contest wins at 17 years of
age, with 2 years off for training and bulking, Cody set his sights at the 2010 NPC Teen
Nationals in Pittsburgh, where at 19 he hoped to become the Teen National Champion. We had
seen Cody compete at 17, and then again at age 19 at the Teen Nationals, and saw that he had
truly transformed his physique, now truly a teen beast on stage. It was perhaps the most
impressive and competitive Teen Nationals ever. He won 1st Place in the Teen Heavyweight
Class, but then in an extremely controversial decision, the overall title was awared to the
Light Heavyweight winner. Cody through it all kept positive and was confident of what he
brought to the stage, and was looking to the future and working to get his Pro card. We
photographed Cody the morning after the Teen Nationals and he was great. We think Cody is the
next big thing to hit bodybuilding, and are very pleased to add Cody Lewis to our roster of
top bodybuilders and fitness models at NorthAmericanBodies.com!
