Early life

Buendia was born in Roseville, California. During high school, Buendia was a linebacker at Whitney High School. Due to the rigorous nature of American football, Buendia sustained injuries to the discs in his neck and back. In part due to this injury, Buendia gained interest in the sport of bodybuilding. Buendia has stated that he was familiar with the principles of bodybuilding as his father was a non-competitive bodybuilder in the 1970s. Buendia began participating in bodybuilding competitions at the age of 17. [5]

Career

Buendia's amateur career began in 2008 where he placed 6th in the INBF Capital City Natural Bodybuilding & Figure Championships. It was this defeat that fueled his motivation during the next two years devoted to training. [1] He began competing professionally within the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) in 2013, where he placed 2nd in the Mr. Olympia Men's Physique class. He subsequently earned the Men's Physique Olympia title in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. [5] Buendia's four title wins set a record number. [3] He placed 4th in the Men's Physique Olympia 2018.

While in his early to mid-twenties, Buendia became one of the youngest competitors to become Mr. Olympia. His dedication to the craft and attention to detail make him different, and he also earned himself Mr. Olympia titles from 2014 to 2017. Standing at a height of 5 feet and 8 inches, [6] he weighs between 175 lbs and 185 lbs. [2]
