Welcome!
In the past, becoming a pro bodybuilder had always been a distant, vague dream. I had the attitude that "sure it would be cool to get there, but i dont have the potential." Recently, however, i have realized that everything that is even worth trying to do shouldnt be done unless everything you have is put into it. So i have taken the mindset that i am not going to stop training with everything i have until i reach that level. When i start anything that i believe is worth doing, i am like a bulldog in holding on to my goal until i reach it.
For a while, my training had become so complacent and pointless. I would go to the gym solely for the fact that it was just another part in my routine. Now, however, i plan all of my activities around my training, sleeping, and eating. I have also contacted Ronnie Rowland, of Aiken-South Carolina, for being my personal trainer. He trained IFBB pro Tricky Jackson from amateur to pro with the Slingshot Training System(STS). He has a book coming out shortly and all of his posts are on illpumpyouup.com. And no, i am not advertising the STS for payment or favors of any sort. I have seen all of the tremendous benefits that have come from all of Ronnie’s clients while under the program, and I myself am extremely eager to begin the program. So i will keep everyone posted of my progress.

It’s good to hear you are committed to bodybuilding. And it’s even better that you have the presence of mind to do it properly and under the watchful eye of an experienced mentor. I wish I had done the same a few years ago. Your potential is obvious and your progress has been superb. It will be nice to watch you grow and develop. Maybe some day you will be competing at the highest levels of the sport. There’s no doubt you can do it, barring serious injury or catastrophe. You’ve stirred my interest in the slingshot training system, but, remember, I’m "old school" and probably a bit skeptical about newer methods.
