Hello all,
My name is Joe DeRousie.
First a big thank you to Justin Randal for the recommendation to record my "Journey!"
I have been training since 1996. I did my first bodybuilding show back in 1998 and have been hooked ever since. My big accomplishments in bodybuilding include the Super Heavyweight and Overall Titles at the 2010 NPC Emerald Cup Championships and a 6th place finish at the 2011 USA Bodybuilding Championships. HUGE thank you goes out to Roger Baker for his guidance and unselfish support over the years.
I also compete as a powerlifter. I recently pulled a 725 raw at the UPA WA state Championships. In December I competed at the Westcoast Open in my first 3 lift meet and totalled with a 1855 raw. Tore my pec at this meet with 512 and went on to pull a 677 despite my injury. Big thank you to Justin and Ben Seath for there help at this meet.
My plan for the rest of this year is to requalify and compete at the 2012 NPC National Bodybuilding Championships in November.
