Tomorrow I start a 12 week pre-contest program full of dieting, cardio, and 2 sometimes 3-a-days! I’ve been down this road before. Tons of people have, and are doing the same all year round. Most people don’t understant what we do. "Why are you eating that chicken breast with nothing on it?"…."Why aren’t you coming out to the bar?"…."A few drinks won’t hurt ya…" Those people who don’t understand bodybuilding almost seem to be of another planet! One drink could make the difference between First and Second! Chicken loaded with goodies could mean less striations! Going out thursday night will drain me and my friday am cardio could suffer! There are many words to describe a bodybuilders life, but the two that mean the most to me are Focus, and Dedication. Without those two, anything can get in the way and take you off course. Sure, there are many sacrifices to what we do, but keep in mind, you dont see a rainbow until After it rains!! You must be able to stay the course and do whatever it takes to be the best you can to achieve what you’re after. And August 9th I am after my first invitation to Nationals! My heart is true, my focus is a laserbeam and dedication is a badge of honor i wear on my sleave! So as I take this journey I carry the strength of those past, present, and future bodybuilders of all sizes. Thank you for you support and GOD bless you all,,,,,,
