Andreas Frey At A Glance
Unlike many bodybuilders, Andreas Frey began his bodybuilding career much earlier than most do, having started training for the sport at only 15 years of age. In addition, he took part in a show shortly after, which saw him grab his first bronze medal. The peak of his career, however, would come in his early twenties.
Andreas Frey was renowned for competing in the IFBB and NABBA, but his most notable appearance was definitely at the 2006 PDI Night Of Champions. He managed to finish in second-place, but the only man who managed to beat him was one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, Lee Priest.
Unluckily, just after things started looking better for him around the year 2007, Andreas Frey suffered a severe pec injury which forced him to retire from the sport. He took part in 33 bodybuilding competitions and won 15 of them.

This line became really popular in Germany, but Andreas also decided to start coaching some athletes.
