First Competition

After 7 years of gruelling gym sessions, Loic was ready to compete; he’d transformed his physique, and had built himself a powerful frame.

At the age of 23, Loic stepped on stage at his first competition – the 2015 MuscleMania Amsterdam. Although he was inexperienced and hadn’t had any guidance on stage-posing, Loic’s impressive physique made up for it.

The Frenchman stepped off stage with the trophy, placing 1st in his debut appearance.

Pro Card

Riding high off the back of his victory, Loic set his sights on his second competition – the 2015 MuscleMania Paris show.

After a few months of rigorous preparation, Loic competed in the MuscleMania Paris. He managed to bring a better package to this show, and it proved to be a success.

Loic ended the night after placing 1st, and fulfilling his ambition of becoming a professional bodybuilder.

Training

Instead, Loic approaches the gym everyday, deciding which muscle groups can be trained. He also targets weaker parts of his physique, to attain a balanced figure.
