I’m going to compete. Holy Crap!
Well, I did it, I decided that I would compete. I would say that it is all thanks to several of the bodyspace members who have been very encouraging and helpful. Numerous bodyspace members have repeatedly told me that I have "a good base". I suppose this is a good thing. I don’t want a good base. I want a great body. With that in mind, I began talking to a friend on this site about how to get a great body, the body I would need to compete. I gave him the rundown of my diet and lifting program and he told me I was on track. There was one problem though. He said that I needed to add about twenty pounds and set a date for the competition. I picked the OCB Intra Coastal Natural in August of 2007. With the general time frame established, I figured out that I need to gain roughly one pound per week until late April to reach my goal. I began immediately piling my plates higher in the dining halls and so far I have gained a couple pounds. The scary part is seeing the definition getting hazy. So here I am. I have the guidance of a seasoned Bodybuilder, the proper diet, the proper exercise, and the proper motivation. What will I look like in April; and better yet, what will I look like in early August? It’s a very strange thing to realize that I will actually be competing for the first time and from that point on I will be able to call myself a bodybuilder. That’s an amazing feeling. I cannot wait to hit the stage.
