Staying Positive
With about two weeks out of the Team Universe I’m exactly where I want to be, still getting leaner without losing any size. Now the trick seems to be to stay positive and just focus on myself. That means not who else might be competing, not friends and co-workers who don’t understand the level of committment necessary to compete, and not ignorant wannabees on internet message boards.
Last night I stumbled upon a forum thread basically devoted to whether or not I was natural. Now I don’t know a single person who posted, but there were over three pages of statements that I am a liar and a cheat who uses steroids! Initially I was enraged, but soon realized just who these cowardly internet people are.
To my surprise, Skip LaCour emailed me a short note of support, as he must have seen some of these same forum posts. This guy has been dealing with this sort of thing his whole career, so I really appreciated his help.
For you natural bodybuilders out there, just stay true to yourselves, and ignore all those people who will try to bring you down to make themselves feel better.
Peace
