With 
us today is MP Competitor Michael Fitzgerald. Congrats on a great showing in the division! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
After training for three years I felt I was ready to get on stage. I acquired a trainer for diet and cardio and went hard as possible for three months and dieted down for three weeks prior to the show. Also I like the physique division rather than body building just because that’s the type of body I would like to have.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you recenlty competed?
Yes, it was a small show so I felt it would be perfect for exposure in my first show. I took third place in the novice division and was told I went in too lean at 4% body fat 183 pounds in the over 5”10 division. But I was grateful for third place in my first show.
How did you feel after pre-judging? I felt confident
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
I still feel I should have won first place, so of course I was frustrated but still grateful to even be in the top three.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I feel with my body make up I could go a long way with my passion for lifting and the whole lifestyle. It’s my dream to make Men’s physique a career.
