Meet 
MP Competitor Dewayne Triplett. Congrats on the physique you brought into Nationals! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I had been contemplating competing for quite some time. I always used the excuse of not wanting to walk around at 240 and above. When I found out about the Men's Physique Division, I went to the 2011 Jr. Nationals and decided I wanted to compete after watching that competition.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
After pre-judging I was confident I would place top 15. I was pleased with my stage presence which had been a weak point at prior national shows.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
I didn't place top 15 so I was disappointed at first. After a while of that feeling of disappointment, it transformed into determination. I want to be the best I can be at whatever I do. Placing 16th is not my best, so I will work harder. I will make the necessary changes and come into my next show better.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I believe the Men's Physique Division can be a great tool to further my career. Everyone doesn't want the build of a bodybuilder. The general public finds MP division more obtainable and I believe it’s extremely marketable.
