Yan Shouming: The Chinese Monster Who Conquered the Bodybuilding World

The Rise of a Chinese Colossus: Bodybuilder Yan Shouming Dominates the Arena

Changchun, China – The realm of bodybuilding beholds a new leviathan from the East, and his name is Yan Shouming. A magnificent amalgam of power and discipline, Yan is a towering figure who has taken the Chinese bodybuilding scene by storm. He's no mirage—he's a monstrous marvel of muscle, a true beast in the flesh, and his story is one of titanic inspiration!

Born and bred in Changchun, Jilin, the 29-year-old muscle maestro weighs in at an impressive 100 kilograms and sports an astonishing arm circumference of 51 centimeters. Yan's physique isn't just a product of genetics but also of hard graft and iron-will. Owing to his groundbreaking "Yan's Training System," this Chinese giant has clinched several prestigious titles, including but not limited to:

• 2019 DMS Men's Bodybuilding Class Champion
• Men's Bodybuilding Overall Champion
• 2019 China Olympiad Men's Bodybuilding 90kg Class Champion

From Hefty Youth to Herculean Champion

Yan's odyssey began in his youth when he tipped the scales at over 200 pounds by the sixth grade. Instead of succumbing to the weight, he used it as a catalyst for change, diving into sports and eventually becoming a dedicated sports student at school. It was Yan's robust routine of squats and bench presses—staples in his physical education—that laid the groundwork for his ascendancy into bodybuilding.

The turning point came when Yan's gaze fell upon a poster of iconic bodybuilder Shawn Ray. This encounter didn't just capture his imagination; it captivated his entire being, drawing him deeply into the world of bodybuilding. What followed was a tale of transformation, as adversity turned to strength and an overweight child turned into an iron-pounding prodigy.

Throughout college, Yan Shouming fueled his passion for muscle craft with clandestine gym sessions, even at the cost of salary deductions for breaking school rules. His dedication bore fruit when 2010 Yan secured fourth place in the Jilin Provincial Bodybuilding Championships, setting the stage for his competitive journey.

The Recipe for Success: Dedication, Diet, and Discipline

Aspects of Yan's iron creed play out in the minutiae of his template for triumph—his rigorous 5-day training cycle focusing on chest workouts with a punishing variety of presses and curls:

• Incline Barbell Press: 8 sets of 10 reps
• Backhand Barbell Press: 8 sets of 10 reps
• ...and much more meticulously executed to chisel his chest into a slab of pure strength.

To complement his arduous training, Yan meticulously manages his diet with six meals a day, comprising seasonal vegetables for vital nutrients, fish and shrimp for protein, and wise carb choices like potatoes and pasta. He seasons his regimen with high-quality sports supplements punctuating each part of his day, from waking to training to the hushed hours before sleep.
