Regan Grimes

Complete Profile

Early Life

Regan Grimes is a Canadian bodybuilder who discovered his love for bodybuilding at 17 years old and hasn’t stopped training since. And maybe that’s largely due to the fact that he’s a genetic freak and was incredibly impressive at just 18 years old. 

Like seriously, how many 18 year-olds looks like this?

Of course, he looks way different these days being several years older and having packed on a substantial amount of mass. But competing in bodybuilding wasn’t really his intention at first. In fact, he originally just wanted to pack on some size to compete in Motocross.

However, the results that he experienced made him want to pursue this new passion. By 18, he had entered and competed in his first bodybuilding show. And the rest was history. 

Competition and Career

Regan Grimes originally began his professional career in the Men’s Open division. However, he transitioned to the Classic Physique division shortly thereafter. But he has decided to return to Open competition.

“One of the coolest moments competing for me was definitely going back up to open bodybuilding from classic and making first call-outs – Battling it out with these beasts @cedricmcmillan & @juandieselmorel at Romania Pro 2019! Standing next to these guys motivate the hell out of me to keep pushing and to become the best version of myself!“
