Cedric McMillan Facts
He began developing an interest in muscular physiques in his childhood and often used to draw comic book characters whose physiques would impress him.
Cedric was also inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger after watching his physique in the 1982 American epic sword and sorcery film Conan The Barbarian. He had started bodybuilding when he was 13 years old after his mother had bought him a weight set.
After his high school graduation, he joined the US Army and moved to South Carolina. Soon after this, his friend Mark Neil had convinced him to enter his first bodybuilding competition. It was Mark who had helped him gain a lot of muscle and improve his training regimen.
When Mark noticed that Cedric had developed his physique enough after just a month of training, he had encouraged him to compete in a bodybuilding show that was just 4 weeks away. In these 4 weeks, he had increased his weight from 195 lbs to 225 lbs and had competed in the 205 lbs category.
He went on to win the NPC (National Physique Committee) South Carolina in 2007 (super heavyweight division), the 2008 NPC Junior USA Championships, and the 2009 NPC National Championships. He had earned his Pro card in 2009.
The last major competition he had participated in was the 2020 Arnold Classic Columbus where he had stood in 6th place. After this, he was largely unable to compete after being plagued by several health problems including a serious bicycle crash, heart problems, and COVID-19.
After suffering from COVID-19, he had struggled with breathing and was even admitted to a hospital with pneumonia and placed on life support. He had spent nearly 3 weeks in the hospital and lost 30 lbs of weight. Ignoring the doctors’ advice, he had spent the following month trying to regain the lost weight.
In November 2021, he had explained that he would not be able to compete in the upcoming Arnold Classic event as he was still recovering and trying to get back into perfect shape.
His final social media posts, in early 2022, had shown his counter filled with medicine as he used to frequently talk about his health issues. In February 2022, he posted a video where he had talked about suffering from regular stomach issues.
