Fifty-eight weeks ago I started a life changing journey to enter the amateur bodybuilding ranks, and twenty-one weeks from today I will compete in my first show, the 2011 NPC Border States Classic.
Since I was sixteen I have always been into going to the gym and working out. but I never had the understanding and guidance to put together the correct routines and diet. I have always had a real challenging time achieving the look I wanted. I would design a monthly plan to focus on different muscle groups, but was never able to get the desired results. I would become so frustrated that I would throw in the towel for a couple of months, and then jump back into a whole new plan. Finally, in my mid twenties I was noticing definite change. I increased my strength, endurance, and over all appearance.
This change in my overall appearance motivated me to focus on taking myself to the next level. I finally got the opportunity to work with Dusty Hanshaw, a role model in bodybuilding that I hold in highest regard. Once given the opportunity to train under Dusty’s supervision we have been able to transform my physique from a nasty 236lbs to a lean 184.
I have decided to write this blog for the motivation and inspiration to get thru the next twenty-one weeks. Over that period I will be posting updates, blogs, pictures, and progress that I have made.
I know that I will never reach pro status nor be the biggest, but when I walk on that stage I can say with confidence that I have fully committed myself to be in the best physical shape possible.
