You have to be living under a rock if you have been following fitness athletes on Instagram and YouTube and still don’t know about Cook. Steve is one of the most humble and genuine individuals you will come across in the fitness industry.

Cook has worked with some of the biggest brands in the fitness industry like Bodybuilding.com, ON and Gym Shark which go on to show his credibility. He’s coming up with his own line of apparel and other products in collaboration with these companies.

Cook has golden-era aesthetics with broad shoulder, a narrow waist, and tree trunk-like legs. His body is in perfect symmetry and his thick calves and forearms are proof he doesn’t treat any of his muscles as accessory muscles.

Cook is an outdoor person and you can see him hiking, relaxing on the beach, in beautiful landscapes or in the middle of busy but beautiful cities. You can never get bored of following Steve on Instagram.

Even with all the traveling and outdoor activities, he never compromises on his fit lifestyle and you’ll hardly ever see him indulging in cheat meals or skipping workouts. His Greek God-like chiseled physique is the result of his dedication and discipline.

If you’re into golden-era bodybuilding and love the way Arnold spent his post-gym time at the beach, Steve Cook is a must follow on Instagram. If Steve can’t get you motivated to start working out, chances are nobody can.

Cook competed in the Men’s Physique division at Mr. Olympia. Although he never won the Mr. Olympia Men’s Physique title, Steve was one of the crowd’s most favorite athlete.

Steve started training in the basement gym at his home with his dad. He was a part of his school football team, and the love for sports and outdoor activities are in his blood. Cook first started out as a bodybuilding competitor and later turned into a Men’s Physique athlete.
