HOW DID YOUR BODYBUILDING JOURNEY BEGIN?
My journey began three years ago when I was tired of being skinny. I was 5-foot-10 and 135 pounds. I was always lean and athletic, but never packed on size. I lifted off and on throughout high school during football with little gains due to a lack of knowledge about dieting and training.
I read and studied on Bodybuilding.com and created a workout regimen and bulking diet that helped me get up to 220 pounds at 14 percent body fat in two years. I added fat but also packed on muscle and size to sculpt the muscular physique I painted in my mind.
In February 2013, I decided to take it to next level and compete in my first bodybuilding show. I teamed up with one of the best contest prep coaches in the area and leaned out to 190 pounds at 4.5-5 percent body fat in 14 months. My fast metabolism that kept me from gaining mass earlier became useful during contest prep. I did two shows two weeks apart and won both. Winning the shows was an indescribable experience. The hard work, dedication, and relentless dieting were rewarded on stage. I urge anyone with the desire to compete to take the challenge and experience it.
