Jeremy Buendia is an athlete from California whose background includes bodybuilding and fitness modeling. His father was a non-competitive bodybuilder, so he always grew up in the weight room as a child developing discipline and a love for weights at a very young age. That served Jeremy well through high school, where he became a standout linebacker and earned all-league honors despite playing his senior season with a bulging disc in his neck and lower back. A handful of colleges expressed interest in Jeremy, but the injury and a desire to focus on getting an education meant the end of Jeremy’s playing days. But one thing that didn’t end was Jeremy’s competiveness. He was drawn to the bodybuilding stage at the age of 17, where he won the Overall title in the Teen division at the 2010 NPC Contra Costa Championships. After three years as a bodybuilder, Jeremy decided to make the transition to the new Men’s Physique division for the 2012 season. There, Jeremy was able to take his career to an entirely new level bytaking four straight Overall wins including the NPC Sacramento, NPC Excalibur, and NPC Grand Prix which culminated with a victory at the 2013 NPC Junior USA Championships. That last win at the Jr. USA’s is where he earned his Pro Card and entry into the IFBB Professional League. Jeremy is 5’8″ tall with a contest weight of 165 pounds and 185 pounds in the off-season. Now competing as a Pro, Jeremy continues his success, by claiming top honors in his first-ever professional competition at the Greater Gulf States. In the process, he qualified in 2013 to compete with the best in the world at the Men’s Physique Showdown at Joe Weider’s Olympia Weekend. At his first Olympia, Jeremy excelled and while not winning, he placed an awesome 2nd Place in an extremely competitive Pro class. We were among the very first to photograph Jeremy, at the 2013 Jr. USA Championships just after prejudging before he knew he would be getting his Pro Card. We are very pleased to add Jeremy Buendia to the roster of top fitness models and bodybuilders at NorthAmericanBodies.com!
