Brian -
I hope this doesn’t fall on deaf ears… Are there some guys trolling you here? Of course.
BUT - you ain’t in contest shape brother. There are plenty of us who have competed a lot - and I would bet that every single one of us has gotten to contest day and said “uh-oh” .
Everyone at the gym tells you how incredible you look and how you are going to blow away the competition, I get it.
I won’t drag this out. Just wanted you to maybe stop and think about the fact that some of us may actually be trying to keep you from embarrassing yourself. Don’t take everything so personally. Me saying you will embarrass yourself isn’t some dog against you as a human. Do you not have any buddies? My real life friends and I are CONSTANTLY picking on each other and ourselves.
Anyway - I hope you can overcome your insecurities man.
