Social media star Jesse James West, known for his unique blend of entertainment, fitness, and bodybuilding content, recently proved that his digital persona translates into real-world achievements. In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, West revealed his triumph at the 2023 Summer Shredding Championships, competing naturally in the Classic Physique category.
West’s Rise to Fame
West first captured attention through his workout videos on social media, amassing a following of nearly 3 million subscribers on YouTube and over 960,000 on Instagram. Known for his willingness to try various training routines and challenges, West has explored powerlifting, strongman, and more, alongside his mainstay of bodybuilding.
Experiments in Training
In August 2022, West teamed up with internet sensation, Liver King, to adopt a lifestyle based on the nine ancestral tenets involving raw meat consumption and intense training. After a 50-hour immersion under Liver King’s guidance, West reported positive outcomes. Subsequently, he collaborated with bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler for an upper-body workout and received tips on a posing session.

West’s inclination to push his limits led him to train like Navy SEAL David Goggins alongside fellow influencer Brandon William. He also partnered with powerlifting sensation Larry Wheels for a race against the clock to lift a total of 100,000 pounds in 60 minutes.
Pranks and Mischiefs
Infusing humor into his fitness journey, West pranked legendary bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman into believing he lifted a 700-pound squat using fake weights. He pulled a similar stunt on strongman legend Eddie Hall with a purported 675-pound deadlift.
Victory at the Summer Shredding Championships
Most recently, West ventured into a bodybuilding competition, competing naturally and weighing 172 pounds on show day. His efforts culminated in a victory in his class at the 2023 Summer Shredding Championships in the Classic Physique category, held in Houston, Texas. He also achieved second place overall in Men’s Physique, although he didn’t win the overall finals for the Classic Physique.
