2010 for the Win!
So I have decided not compete this year. I’ve been ducking comps for the past two years. I really really want to compete, but all the factors aren’t in place. The biggest thing is money. This damn sport is so friggin expensive with little to no return. I have met a lot of competative bodybuilders and fitness competitors and the one thing they have in common is that they are PAID! There are no broke competitors. LOL. I love this ish so much, but I can’t afford to compete. Besides the money, my mind isn’t ready for this. Competition prep is an unnecessary stress right now.
That being said, my foucs for the time being will be on school and getting my money right. I’m going to take a hiatus from posting pics and whatnot. However, I will be continuing to diet for leanness so I can see more of my weaknesses and have a better starting point. I don’t want to get fat again. That ish is not cute. I want to stay in single digit body fat even in off season. I believe I can still add size and do this, I just have to be really particular about what I eat. So that’s it, and I’m out!

Well, I hope your not posting pics doesn’t mean you will putting us all down in hearing from you and keeping us informed with where you are in your quest. I am sorry to hear that this is not the right time for you. At this stage of the game, I don’t have a single clue of the cost and I really don’t want to know right now…since it may dampen my spirits toward it. I just want to stay focused on the future and I hope that you can continue to do the same. Don’t go too far, because even with not posting, support can always be that push we all continue to need. Take care, you will be on that stage before you know it, taking home that trophy my friend.

Its hard for me to be totally quiet. I won’t be totally gone, but I will be keeping to myself a lot more and focusing on me, my money, and my passion.

Reading this blog I almost felt like I was reading about myself. Dont sweat not competing this year. I told myself that my competition days will start in mid 2010. My own personal reasons being; that I want to learn all I can about competing, because its in itself its own moster, I want to mentally know that I brought a good package to present, and I also need to take the time to lean down. he money as you well know is also a facotr. memberships supps, and FOOD are a killer to the wallet.
I am a firm believer that you can add mass while staying lean. So keep training bruh. And maybe i’ll bump elbows with you on stage one day next year.
Peace!!
