Cedric McMillan is set on winning the Arnold Classic for a fallen friend.

The past few months have been truly crushing for bodybuilding fans as the community has suffered some terrible losses. Rich Piana slipped into a coma and eventually passed away while young up and coming and talented bodybuilder Dallas McCarver lost his life at the age of 26. You couple that with the tragedies being reported that last few months and it’s easy to see why so many people have been down. Bodybuilding standout Cedric McMillan seems to still be taking the death of his friend and competitive rival pretty hard.

While many in the bodybuilding community have picked up the pieces and Done their best to continue on, there are others like Cedric McMillan who still remain deeply affected by the untimely death of Dallas McCarver.

Cedric McMillan has had a few rocky performances since he won big at the 2017 Arnold Classic, but has since gotten back on track winning the 2017 San Marino Pro. Now that he appears to have right the ship, Cedric McMillan is setting his sights at the 2018 Arnold Classic and from the sounds of things he’s doing so with a heavy heart. The Instagram post below shows Cedric McMillan’s mindset as he readies himself for the Arnold Classic and Dallas McCarver is serving as one of his chief inspirations.
