About Shaun

I've always loved sport, as a child I couldn't wait for PE to play any sport possible, my competitive streak was there for everyone to see at a very young age.

When I attended secondary school at the age of 11 it became apparent that I was very good at rugby which was my schools primary sport. I had county trials and was selected to play for Middlesex, I then went on to play for London, then South East England and then on to have England trials at the age of 16.

During this time I was always in the gym to keep fit for rugby, having uncles who were bodybuilders also helped. I was excelling at rugby and I  was tipped to go far. Unfortunately in 1999 I suffered a bad injury to my leg and couldn't quite recover enough to play at the level needed.

I continued to train with weights to help with my rehabilitation and never looked back. I loved the weights and it didn't take long for me to start seeing results. But it wasn't until 2007 that I finally decided to take the plunge and compete.

My competitive history so far is as follows.
