Getting Ready
Officially 9days out (not including today) from the INBF Washington State Naturals. I’ve entered both the masters and open heavyweight classes of the contest. I’d like to say that I do not care how I place, as long as I come in my best shape, but that’d be a lie. I have worked a lot harder preparing for this show than I did my other (only other) and have learned a lot since then. But, there are always guys out there that are bigger, stronger, fitter etc. and you have no control over who shows up. I would rather lose in a big contest than win as an only competitor….so maybe I should quit worrying. I guess this competition or the fear of competition helps keep me motivated…gives me a purpose for pushing an extra rep or skipping that cheat food. I won’t write "I want to win" on my profile, but I sure am going to push myself hard in hopes that my doubts turn out to be just that…..MY DOUBTS. Just in case, if you’re planning on competing in the above referenced show, I heard candybars help build muscle.

You look great! Everyone wants to win but it really is all about the competition. My last show I placed 6th (as opposed to 2nd and 3rd in my other shows) but the caliber was much higher as well as the number of competitors. My sixth place finish is the one that I am most proud of even though I did not get to go home with a trophy! Good luck!
P.S. Great tip about the candybars (lol)!
