Melvin Anthony is a really well known bodybuilder. He was raised in California and first started his journey in bodybuilding while he was a teenager. When Melvin turned 18 his body was enough for him to get a good football scholarship in the powerback position. During his late college years a nasty knee injury forced him out of football. That was when he turned towards bodybuilding. 1993 saw Melvin Anthony competing in Fontana Ironman, where he won 3rd place. The first major competition was in 1995. That was when he won the NPC Palm Springs bodybuilding competition. As time passed he became a professional bodybuilder. In 2000 we saw him in the first IFBB show. He actually won second place at Night of Champions, an achievement that is quite impressive for a bodybuilder debuting in an IFBB show.
