If you turn to different pages, I am in a lot of those pics. I am in the men's novice class and Men's light heavy weight class. So I ended up doing 2 classes for this particular show.
It was a great experience. I was nervous as hell getting up on that stage almost nude.
The amount of sacrifice, hours you put in the gym, the dehydration, the blood, sweat, and tears, and moods you go through while dieting is some experience.
This chapter in my life made me appreciate as well as empathize what the amatuers/pros go through while competing and dieting. It also taught me what I need to make major improvements on to better myself...legs, chest, calves, abs....
You guys have my utmost respect....Blockhead, Mike Arvilla, 2powerful4u, ect....
Attached is a picture where I am a week behind my contests date where I havent yet carb/sodium depleted....
For those of you on here thinking about doing a show, I say do it! Its an incredible experience.
Support your local shows and support the sport....
