Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom. So grant me one request...
GRANT ME REVENGE!...and if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
A little background on me...I'm 6' and currently 210 pounds. 31 years ago I was born into a small, middle class family just south of the steel city of Pittsburgh and still reside there today. My upbringing taught me to hold close values such as respect for others, appreciation and loyalty to family and friends, and to dream big. My time in bodybuilding has taught me that hard work pays off, to always believe in one's self, and to never give up on your dreams.
In 2015 I competed in my first show, the NPC Elite Physique Championships, where I took 2nd in my weight class as a light heavyweight. After a long (and bumpy) offseason I competed again this year at two shows. The first of which was the NPC Mid Atlantic Cup, placing 4th in the heavyweights. The second being the NPC Julie Palmer Ultimate Showdown, placing 10th as a light heavyweight. That last show left a bad taste in my mouth. A taste that I will remember for the entirety of this offseason and as long as I compete in bodybuilding.
This is my 2017 offseason journey. I have 6 months to improve. At this time I am putting all my eggs in one basket. I want to be a champion. And I will do whatever it takes.
Contest prep will begin January 2018. Follow along if you'd like.
