“When you invest your love you invest your life”
~ Jeff Seid
The king of Calisthenics, Jeff Seid is said to be a natural bodybuilder. Some people are skeptical about this but even they have to admit that he has a pretty impressive body - to say the least.
Jeff claims to be being six feet tall and weighing around 210 lb (95 kg). The weight seems realistic enough but height... Now Jeff is one of those guys whose height is very difficult to place. Sometimes he seems very tall and sometimes very short. Perhaps the magic is in his thick hair? Still, we have to have to say that he looks nowhere close to the six feet mark.
After comparing Jeff with a lot of other bodybuilders like Kai Greene (around 5'7"), Simeon Panda (5'11.5"), Steve Cook (claimed to be 6" and 6'1" at one time or another), David Laid (6'2"), and some others, we think that Jeff is probably closer to 5'10" than 6". His weight remains in the range of 203 lb (92 kg) to 215 lb (97.5 kg).
