He started weightlifting at the age of 15 after getting involved in baseball and soccer. Cichonski was hit in the face playing baseball his senior year of high school, which shifted his focus on weightlifting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of years later, at age 19, Chichonski entered his first bodybuilding show \u2013 1981 AAU Mr Massachusetts and again in 1982. Although both competitions weren\u2019t drug tested, Peter Cichonski knew he wanted to compete in a drug-free organization. Cichonski met a crossroads where he had to choose between staying natural or becoming enhanced. For Cichonski, the answer was simple. He was only interested in nutrition, exercise, and his health. Therefore, he vowed to be a lifetime natural bodybuilder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peter Cichonski sees natural bodybuilders as more than a sport. But as a lifetime of building and refining his physique. Moreover, he sees competition as an artist. And every time he competes, he\u2019s displaying his art gallery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peter Cichonski has been competing for decades. He has attended more than 50 competitions and was inducted into the PNBA Hall of Fame in 2019.
