Steven Cao Age and Early Life

The bodybuilder was born in 1994, on the 21st of November. From what we gathered, Cao was brought up in Galloway, New Jersey and has always been competitive and athletically inclined. He wasted no time in joining his high school basketball team as a freshman.

Nonetheless, he was smallish and it made it difficult for him to thrive in the team. To fix this, Steven Cao decided to bulk up. His aim was a simple one: to get stronger and bigger enough for a spot on the basketball team. Given that, Steven started building his body at the age of 15.

Initially, he was only able to work out for 45 minutes at his school’s gym. His body responded quickly to the weight training and Cao wanted to extend his sessions but couldn’t as his school only allowed 45 minutes. Outside school, he couldn’t use a local gym because they required parental guidance and his parents were very occupied with their jobs.

He had to wait until he turned 16 to join the Tilton Fitness in Galloway. At this point, joining the basketball team was no longer his mission, Cao is now passionate about bodybuilding.

Thanks to his friends, he was encouraged to take part in a physique competition. Albeit not very enthusiastic about it, Cao began to prepare for the competition and hired a contest prep coach named Ariel Cutz Alberto to help him out. Steven and Ariel trained for eighteen weeks which saw him subject himself to intense workout sessions and a strict diet. Their efforts paid off as Cao emerged the winner of the Men’s Physique title in the NPC John Kemper Classic competition.

Winning the competition gave Steven the audacity to aim for more attainments so he began competing in the NPC Universe National Championships. Thereafter, he gained the attention of the fitness industry and bagged sponsorship deals with popular companies like BPI Sports and Gymshark. It was in the summer of 2017 that Steven Cao attained professional status in the sport.
