I spent the last 20 weeks cutting down for my show on Oct 16, 2010. I spent the 2 years before bulking up for it and working with Tom "RAGE" Fuller to get me to the stage.

I finished 3rd in 2 classes out of 5 guys and 2nd in the submasters. Submasters only had 2 guys so don't get too excited but the guy that took first took the overall and was in great shape. For my first show I'm very happy with my placing and feel like for the shape I was in, I was correctly placed.

Working with Tom was a great experience and I have to give him all the credit for me getting into shape and stepping on stage. He guided me every step along the way and was there for any questions I hit him up with. The morning of the show he was texting me to send pics to see what we needed to do, and he's 2 hrs behind me. I really appreciated the effort he took to make sure I was ready.


I want to thank Universal Nutrition and Animal for all the great sups that helped me get to this point. Since I joined the forum 3 years ago I have been using 100% of my sups through either Universal or Animalpak. No other company has products that work as well and priced affordably enough that I can stack them daily for the results I needed. Anything I need they have and as a consumer that's really important to me while planning my next steps to the stage.

It was a great experience and I'll def be back at it again. I need to make some improvements and come into the next one thicker and more cut to be competative, but I know I can and will do it.

Here's a few pics from the show.

I believe that the animalpaks have rearranged my DNA because this 1 yr old Daughter of mine can easily pick up any of these trophies in one hand. I had to hold it in place to keep her from dropping them, so she decided to try and bite the top off. hahaha She is an animal, no doubt about it.

I've just did my first sho too brother and how good does it feel... Knowing that the time youve put in over the last few months and years are all culminating to that few brief moments that you are on stage... It definately fuels the fire to go back and do it all again next time round...

Congrats bro, enjoy your refeed!!! Whats on the menu?

Congratulations, brother! You've come a long way from the Iron Contest, and I'm proud as hell to call you "bro". I know the doubts you had, and the worries you shared, and you went in and got the job done, and well! Onward and upward!

Thanks MM. Stepping out there was actually pretty easy once you get used to the idea of every one looking at you. haha

Thanks Brother. Show was great and I'm glad I finally did it.

Thanks Brother, I did pretty well for the first show. Keep your eyes open for a new Journey, I gotta step it up in a major way for the next go round.

Thanks Bro. I ate pretty clean all last week but enjoyed a few treats on the Desert line. Today starts back on a clean diet and I will maintain a much slimmer waist line this next year.

Jim, Thanks for all the support over the past few years. I always know who I can lean on for a kick in the ass.

Thanks Big E. It's tough with a little one needing as much attention as I needed to give the weights but it's all part of the Journey. We all survived and hopefully I'll be a much better bodybuilder because of the experience. More shows to come but I need to make some improvements first.


Huge Congrats Jeremy! You really gave it you all and it shows.

Now it's time for the fun part...bulking :-)

You got that right SB. The bulk is on and I'll start up another Journey and keep posting pics to make sure I stay leaner than last go round.


It was an honor to work with you brother. You did awesome and I'm very proud of you. Always here for ya brother.

Thanks Tom, I could never have done it without your support and guidance. I hope to take it to the next level and make you proud again.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate you always checking in on me. You guys always keep me motivated and going in the right direction.

Thanks Brother. I learned alot over the past 20 weeks of show prep and I plan on putting all that experience to good use this next year. I actually had a week of post show grub since I was traveling for work, but nothing too crazy.


Congrats, my man. Great job on the prep! Now its time to enjoy some food!
Thanks Aggression. I appreciate you dropping in. More big things to come over the next year.


Congrats, Job well done on first show

Thanks Pain. FIrst one out of the way and hopefully more to come with even better results.

Thanks to everyone that has dropped by and offered up congrats. I appreciate it and will work even harder over the next year to represent the core beliefs of this forum family and what we stand for.
