Don't forget he's not that tall, so it's ok since he's in low digit bodfat-lvls constantly and all the time.
Although i've never been at his weight for 30 years or so.

who was your prep coach?

who was your prep coach?
Is nice?

My prep coach is IFBB
Pro Michael Liberatore, I met him after my first show and he told me I had a lot of potential, we exchanged info and I decided to hire for this shiw, I can honestly say that it was the best decision that I could have made, it makes a big difference having someone who knows different strategies regarding training, dieting, evaluation of the physique. .just having a 2nd set of eyes there to monitor you is instrumental..he's a great guy and Im glad I had the opportunity to work with him, I will hire him again for sure for my next show, no doubt.

Thanks for all the compliments GetBig! I gave it my all for this prep, did everything by the books, never cheated or strayed from my diet (even though I had to attend numerous family parties with tons of Italian food in front of me) never missed a training or cardio session, kept my stress levels down, didn't have a sip of alcohol for 3 months (which is very hard for me) and all the hard work paid off, I set a goal for myself and I accomplished it and it feels damn good!!

for the show I was between 149-151 currently I couldn't tell you I haven't stepped on a scale since the comp, Im never really concerned about weight anyway, I actually just judge where I'm at by my abs and face really.

This is what I have a problem with, ripped or not a grown man should not weigh 150 pounds that is a fucking woman, you look anorexic in regular clothes.
How much a grown man should weigh depends on several things, height being one. The man's bone structure helps determine how much mass he can carry. Not all men should or can carry healthfully a ton of weight, even when it is mostly muscle weight. Go4it, looks much leaner in the face in these recent photos. No doubt this is a result of his dieting down in order to look ripped. An increase in as little a 10 lbs. would probably fill out his face as well as smooth out his physique. Not sure if he's mentioned his off season weight but he's a fairly petite guy if his waist is normally only 28".
In contrast, not all women are little. I have three nieces who are all over 6'2" tall. They would look like they were anorexic if they only weighed 150 lbs.

Thanks again to everyone who commented in the thread, getting another victory has really changed my perspective on competing, I won my first show and I was happy, but it could've just been my luck on that day, but for me to win another makes me think I actually may have some potential here, I couldn't be more stoked about the win and excited to compete again in the near future! Another stage shot that I received. .

Hey Dudes, I landed my first sponsorship! It's a local gym out here in Hawaii, I did a photoshoot there last week, they're going to use me in some of their advertisements and membership promotions! Livin the Dream Baby!!!
what do you get from the sponsorship?
-
I heard BigRo is sponsored by the local pub.
-
BIG RO, I'm gonna guess that Go-4's sponsorship includes the gym membership plus a couple of protein products each month.
That ain't much but it's better than a kick in the ass!
Even back in the days when the economy was much better than it is today, amateur competitors rarely received a cash sponsorship ... and only the best or the upcoming best were able to get any financial help from Jore Weider.
I sort of recall a yearly sponsorship of approximately $40,000 per year for the top few contenders who would then be obligated to represent the IFBB in some of the local state NPC contests.
Someone else on this Board might be able to provide more up to date and more accurate info regarding sponsorship packages.
The real money is earned by individuals such as James 'Flex' Lewis and a very few others who sign individual contracts with the major supplement companies, but I no longer know what those sup contracts are worth.

IN an effort to add a bit more to what I've mentioned above .... Here's an actual story as told to me by Mike Mentzer many years ago.
I'll do my best to present this correctly . but feel free to correct me if the details are not precise.
Many years ago Mike was helping Joe with the magazine ... photos and articles. He eventually visited Joe in Joe's office in Woodland Hills and asked to be paid.
I'm not sure if he was doing this for free before this meeting with Joe but Joe made Mike an offer which Mike was not too happy about ... but accepted none-the-less.
Joe's offer was. "I'll give you a full page in the magazine to see something that will make you money!
That alone is worth $5,000!"
(Actually I could be mistaken by a thousand or two, but close enough....)
SO Mike decided to use that page to sell a training 'pamphlet' . (It sure as hell wasn't a 'book').
As an aside .... Ray did not like the 'deal' at all.
SO a few months later Mike had a full page ad in the magazine which offered his training advice. (I forget the price but I'm gonna make an unintelligent guess that it was $30.)
And shortly after that issue was on the stands, Mike wrent down to check his PO Box at the USPS in Venice, California.
That PO Box was empty except for a note inside.
That note said, 'Come to the front desk for your mail."
To be continued ... Gotta head off and rob a casino!
-
Casino heist delayed ..... Rest of story below....
So Mike gooes to the front deak and asks if he has any mail and shows the mailman the note he found in his PO Box.
And the mail man simply says, “Do you have something to carry it in/”
Miek doesn’t … so he goes across the street and gets sone shppping bags, returns to the PO, and receives ‘three bags full’ of mail with $30 inside each and every envelope.
And that daily visit to the PO continued for a good long while which made Mike very happy.
And Ray was happy that Mike was happy and … even Joe was happy that Mike was happy and it didn’t cost him one red cent.
A rarely seen Happy Ending story on this GetBig Board.
You happy, Go-4?
-
what do you get from the sponsorship?
I just get a free membership, free shakes, apparel...honestly I would have done it for free, the owner has been great to me from the start I love training at that gym, so for me it wasn't about trying to gain financially. I have to start at a grass roots level to promote myself, so anything that will help get my image out there is a plus, physique competitors and bodybuilders aren't like actors or singers, were you have agents booking you gigs and stuff, you kind of have to promote yourself on your own through social media and other venues, but I'm really stoked about it!
And Yes Stunt I am Happy!!
-
Congrats on the sponsorship.
-
Congrats Go 4 It
And cool story as always Stunt
-
Go 4 it doing big things. You have the potential to be one of the top guys.
-
Go4It already IS a top guy!

Thanks man, my coach seems to think so as well, the next show for sure will be a big one for me, it will be a national level contest in persuit of a pro card, so it will be interesting to see how things unfold, but i wanna thank GetBig for all the positive comments in this thread, it means a lot coming from people who are involved in this sport in one way or another, much respect.
-
well done buddy, you are an inspiration. To be in great shape year after year is something very few can be proud of.

usually i'll drink tequila on the rocks with a few limes, or vodka on the rocks with a few lemons, but i love mojitos and bloody mary's, i stay away from all the sugary stuff, especially here in Hawaii with all the tropical drinks, each drink can be anywhere from 300 to 1000 calories.

Interesting that you say that, because at this gym theres some big guys, one just one a show out here in the heavyweight class, but the owner approached me, most likely because my look is probably more attainable i guess.
