Good day hard-chargers,
Hope you all are well after we took time to acknowledge 9/11…
Bless those who were affected and lost a family member during that time.
As of now we’re 12 weeks out from the NPC National Championships in Orlando, Fl Dec 2nd-3rd.
I’m so nervous about this that my heart starts beating fast when I think about it…
(dumb questions, is that anxiety???)
I won my weight division at Jr Nationals in Chattanooga, Tennessee earlier this year June 15th-17th. I hope to do well at this upcoming show as the top 2 in each category will receive their Pro-Cards.
I know this does not happen over night, I know this takes years and years of work and preparation. I do not think that I’m better than anyone as I know the hard-work it takes to get to this point.
At the end of the day though, I would absolutely love to garner the coveted Pro-Card and prove to myself that I can compete with and beat pros.
I just started 2 -A-Days yesterday…
Lifting in the am (arrive to gym @ 03:40) and then treadmill/stair-master in the evening time. (arrive at gym @ 19:00)
I think I’m going to drop carbs when I’m about 8-6 weeks out.
Posing is going well, I do however want to further enhance my posing as a judge told one of the trainers that I’ve worked with in the past that the reason I didn’t win the overall show was because my posing needs a little work.
(side-note) I was so disappointed at Jr. Nationals…
I didn’t give a fuck that I won my weight division, I wanted to win the entire fucking show. I knew deep in my heart that I was better than the overall competitors.
Once that judge told that to the trainer I worked with that let me know I was ready but just needed a little work. So with that being said I’m taking posing to the next level. Really focusing on accentuating certain body parts during posing that are my strong areas.
I will continue to keep you all updated, I’m also trying really hard not to look at pictures of previous winners at NPC Nationals. I don’t want to get down on myself and think I’m not good enough, as this is what happens when I look at past winners.
I have updated pics, I just haven’t blurred out face as of yet.
You guys stay blessed, and thanks for giving me a place to talk about lifting and many other topics comfortably without being judged. I greatly appreciate it, because as a 36 year old man, I still to this day feel like I don’t fit in with those in society, that could also be the PTSD but that’s another story.
P.S. I’ll have pics uploaded manana, apologies for any grammatical errors. Ya’ll stay blessed.
