Philip Ricardo Jr. was born in Rochester, New York, on July 29, 1971. He didn’t always have the muscular and shredded physique he has now. As a kid, Ricardo Jr. was skinny and asthmatic.

At 13 years old, his father introduced him to weightlifting. In 1985, his family moved to Illinois, where he played high school football. The weight training program there helped Ricardo Jr. see dramatic changes in his body. He was slim, lean, and muscular throughout high school.

He enlisted in the Marine Corps upon graduating high school in 1989. After boot camp, he was stationed overseas in Iwakuni, Japan, where he worked out at the military base gym with veteran marines.
