Scott Friedman

Strength comes from within.

It is that kind of strength that will help a person go beyond harsh words that others throw at him. The actions that one might take next can utilize the criticism to show his strength on the outside physique. Scott has taken the right actions and even though he might have quite a way to go to reach his destiny, he sure knows he’s heading the right direction.

AMM - Where was hometown for you?

Scott - I am from Boca Raton, FL. I grew up in Boca my entire life until I left in 2012 to attend FSU for the last 4 years. I am currently back in Boca Raton for the remainder of the year then I will be living in LA.

AMM - Growing up, who or what inspired you to be athletic?

Scott - Growing up I was actually the “fat kid”. I grew up overweight eventually leading to myself becoming obese and unhealthy. Due to the fact that I was jeopardizing my health at such a young age, my physical appearance, and my self esteem at the age of 15 I decided to totally change my life around. I started researching fitness diet and exercises and within two months of proper training and diet, I went from 210lbs at only 5’6 to 150 at 5’11 and my life changed forever. My motivation mostly came from the fact that I wanted to be alpha male in the room and essentially get all of the girls in my grade. Another motivation was that I saw how good people that were in good physical shape were treated as opposed to the way overweight people are treated.
