I wanna first say Congrats to new IFBB PRO an OVERALL CHAMPION CEDRIC MCMILLAN....The guy fights for our country an is a straight up GOOD GUY..I have no problem giving credit where its due,He is gonna do damage with another 25lbs on his frame...
As for me,I took 6th place in a very close battle for top 5....I was called out in the 1st call-out along with 5 others an the JUDGES worked us hard an gave each an everyone a fair chance to be compared against each other...BSA an Cedric where right next to each other an was having a blast on stage battling each other..As he put it to me,I was trying to punk him on stage..lol...It was real close between 2-6,That we could switched placings an nobody would have said nothing....I'm very HAPPY with my placing as This is my highest placing on the National scene in my long career...Many didnt even think I would be competing...Non the less being in the 1st call-out...
BSA didnt do any interviews or in the trenches training videos etc..I just layed low an stay focused with my eye on the prize...The feedback that I got from the JUDGES,FANS ETC was nothing but Outstanding...It feels really good to finally get the recognition that you thrive for in this very Subjective sport..Words cant explain how it felt to hear my number announced in that 1st call-out...The class had BREWER,KLUCKO,MARSHALL,an many more top National level guys who didnt crack the top 8...So to be able to compete with the BEST in the NATION an do so well,IS A HONOR...Especially after a very DISAPPOINTING year at USAS-9TH @NA'S-8TH...
So Thank you to everyone for the kind words n support...I WILL BE BACK...I didnt hear one person say anything NEGATIVE about my legs etc...Congrats to all the WINNERS...Everyone was ON...For now Im gonna relax an enjoy some home cooking..HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE..BE SAFE AN EATTTTT...I KNOW I WILL BE EATING FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND....THAT I PROMISE...
Heres my favorite shots of the weekend,BSA AN CEDRIC going head to head....THIS PIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF...Thnx to TEAM APOLLON GYM FOR THERE CONTINUED SUPPORT an allowing me to TRAIN AT THE BEST GYM IN NJ...
