Early Life

Cedric McMillan was born in New Jersey, USA. As a child, he took a real interest in muscular physiques and even drew comic characters that had impressive physiques. But his idol was the famous 7x Mr. Olympia legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, who really inspired him especially after watching Conan The Barbarian that starred Schwarzenegger. 

He started training around 13 years of age after his mother bought him a weight set. And it wasn’t long before, McMillan learned that he definitely had amazing genetics and a passion for building muscle. 

After high school, McMillan joined the US Army and relocated to South Carolina. Not long after, he decided to enter his first bodybuilding competition after being convinced by a friend who he looked up to (Mark Neil) and who also helped him gain a lot of size and learn about bodybuilding. He entered the NPC South Carolina in 2007 of which he ended up winning the super heavyweight division. Although, there was only one other competitor at this show.

But it’s safe to say, he’d found “that thing”. 

McMillan is currently an Army instructor and has done tours in his years serving in the US military. 

“I think the army is kind of part of who I am. I think the Army is kind of what made me the man that I am. I believe that be able to get to where I am while maintaining my military career is something to be a little bit proud of too.” 

Competition 

Cedric McMillan is a top Open division bodybuilder who has 5 Pro wins and has placed top 5 in major competition on several different occasions. He earned his Pro card in 2009 and since then he has been in the conversation with the best Open bodybuilders in the world. He even earned the nickname, “The One”.

His most notable victory was the 2017 Arnold Classic Ohio where he ironically got to meet his idol, Arnold Schwarzenegger. And his most recent competition was the 2020 Arnold Classic Ohio where he placed 6th. 

McMillan also received a special invitation to the 2019 Mr. Olympia competition due to his role in the United States military. He placed 7th at this competition.

Cedric McMillan Training Regime

Like with any bodybuilding regime, it can vary. Therefore, here’s an example of one of McMillan’s shoulder and back routines.

He usually doesn’t count reps and aims for low reps of which training with heavier poundages allows him to achieve. Although, sometimes he does count the reps to make sure he’s progressing. McMillan is also an instinctive bodybuilder which means he trains according to what feels good and isn’t afraid to experiment with different techniques and methods. 

“It’s like I can hear something whispering to me, try this or do that, see how that feels, do another rep, hold it on this rep, do slow negatives. Throughout my whole workout, It’s like somebody is talking to me. It’s really just me coaching myself I guess“.

Shoulder routine

  • Smith machine shoulder press
  • Cable Lateral Raise
  • Bent Over Rear-deal Lateral Raise
  • Forward Dumbbell Shoulder Press

Back routine

The following back routine is one that McMillan did after he won the 2017 Arnold Classic and visited the Muscle & Fitness headquarters to show his training techniques before the Olympia that year. 

  • Barbell row  3 sets x 12 reps.
  • Lat pulldown  3 sets x 12 reps.
  • One arm cable pullover  3 sets x 12 reps.
  • Hyperextension  3 sets x 20-25 reps.

Additional Information

Cedric McMillan has had a pretty illustrious career which also likely comes down to his larger than life personality aside from his impressive resume. He’s a top physique in the Open division and is always a name that gets thrown in the mix for a top 5 placing.

He’s extremely disciplined and hard-working which he attributes to his time served in the Army and we’ll definitely be seeing more of him in upcoming competition.
