Biography

edit

Silvio Samuel is an IFBB professional bodybuilder, representing Spain. He was discovered by Coach Alfonso Gomez Plaza, as a young Olympic weightlifter with much potential.

Silvio originated from Nigeria, to a family of two boys and six sisters. He left Nigeria due to the political and nationwide instability which killed some of his family members. Growing up and traveling all over the world was a life-saving career for him and his family. He turned professional after winning the Joe Weider competition in France, that gave Silvio his professional card in 2006, which allowed him to pursue his dream career and becoming one of the top IFBB pro bodybuilders.
