Biography
Small Steps
Since his early childhood, Parker was always someone who looked up to people who could turn heads with their physical appearance. He always wanted to look like a star from the movies that had a six-pack.
He started out modestly, by modeling for small local agencies, and by trying to become more skilled in sports.
Parker played football in high school and college, and after the college, he started to search for other passions as he was slowly losing the desire to continue with football.
He eventually saw an opportunity in bodybuilding and fitness and once he tried it, he was hooked.
Rise To Fame
Parker worked on his body religiously for many years, and eventually, with many months of hard work, he built his dream physique.
After idolizing his heroes on the TV screen for years as a child, it was Parker who eventually became the same icon for other fitness hopefuls around the world. His popularity blew up when he started to post pictures of his aesthetic body on his social media profiles.
Soon after his transformation, he was overwhelmed with requests from people messaging him for training advice and nutrition. He then realized that it was something he wanted to do for a living.
Parker is now a celebrity online trainer who offers many programs, including training and nutrition plans.
“Don’t compare your struggles to anyone else’s. Don’t get discouraged by the success of others. Make your own path and never give up!”
Training
Parker is a firm believer in isolation exercises. He believes by focusing on the mind-muscle connection, he can maximally increase a particular muscle, and also achieve a better contraction than with compound movements.
One of the body parts he likes to train the most is his chest, and one of his favorite exercises are low cable crossovers.
“Let your dreams change your reality. Don’t let reality change your dreams.”
Nutrition
When it comes to dieting, Parker is an advocate of eating clean, but occasionally he’ll allow himself a cheat meal. He provides his fans on social media with a lot of recipes, ranging from healthy protein-packed meals to cakes and greasy foods that Parker will use for his refeeds.
L-Carnitine and BCAAs are Parker’s favorite supplements, along with whey protein.
“If you’re going to have doubts, doubt your limits, not your potential. Stay focused!”

What is really funny is that I critiqued one of Parker’s Instagram pictures online where he posed in front of Brazil’s famous “Christ the Redeemer” statue (look it up if you need to), where he promptly asked if I was “jerking off to his picture” and called me a fag. I reached out to sponsors about this via Instagram and email and did not get a response. I have the screenshot saved and plan to revisit this because its amazing how a company can still employ someone with these views!
I think he was being sarcastically rude… Pointing to your judgment of him posing near the Lord and in contrast Parker pretending to be judging you…
I think you guys are whiny asses who are pussified
I grew up with Parker Mike
I don’t believe it.
