David Trantham is a professional bodybuilder. He trains and competes drug free (meaning he uses no anabolic steroids, diuretics, growth hormone etc.) thus epitomizing the physical culture ideal which was the genesis of the sport of bodybuilding.
Through hard work and nearly superhuman dedication to diet (especially when prepping for a show) David demonstrates what a drug free individual can accomplish.
You can read specifics on how David trains, his diets, and how he supplements on our sister website Wannabebig (see his training journal on the forums - David Trantham Pro Natural Bodybuilder Training Journal). While you’re there, feel free to make comments or even ask him questions!
A Brief Bio:
David grew up admiring the incredible physiques of his favorite comic book superheroes. This love of physical power translated to an equal love of athletic endeavors.
He excelled in multiple sports with a focus on baseball, basketball, and football. As it is with many bodybuilders, David’s first experience with the weights was to get bigger and stronger for football.
After high school David received offers to play football at some smaller colleges, but instead chose to pursue basketball. Resistance training had taken a back seat to athletics, but after a multitude of injuries and some chance perusals of bodybuilding magazines, David once again was bitten by the iron bug. He decided he could look like the bodybuilders he saw in the magazines and embarked on a new athletic career.
David and his lovely wife Dawn (see her page here - Dawn Trantham sponsor profile) both hold down full-time “regular” jobs in addition to being coaches/trainers for other athletes looking to compete in bodybuilding and or figure events. Add to that their personal rigorous training schedules and two children and you have one busy couple!
