Clinched first place at the Musclemania World Finals in the Junior Lightweight category.

Born on December 16, 1983, in Farnborough, England, Riches was an active youth involved in high-adrenaline sports like windsurfing and mountain biking. At age 15, his life changed when he fractured his shoulder (and clavicle) during a mountain bike race. On a doctor's recommendation to strengthen the area, Riches began lifting weights in his father's garage using an old bench and basic weights. This rehabilitative necessity quickly evolved into a fascination with body transformation and physical culture. Rob Riches
