Congrats
on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Well, it started a few years ago in the gym when a few fellow gym mates told me I should compete. I was always like, no, maybe next year. Well, this year I was walking up the stairs at my gym and saw some guys in the aerobics room. I thought to myself, “What’s this all about?” As I approached the room it was a group of guys posing for their up and coming competition. I was then told by another spectator that I should compete. At this point I thought “Why not?” So then I finally competed for my first time at the Colorado Northern Show where I won Overall in Novice and Open.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition in which you just competed?
This past show at Colorado State was a show that I really wanted under my belt. I felt confident going into the show. Not only because I had past experience but because I was mentally in the game.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
After pre-judging I felt great. I always find myself to be worried before the judging starts. But once I step foot on that floor, I know the butterflies have to be put away. I feel that the judges can see right through you at first sight. So knowing that I gave it my all, I leave the stage with my head held high.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
I felt awesome after the final results of the show. I felt like my leadership skills were there and I felt that everyone showed great sportsmanship. I could not have asked for a better night of competition.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I love Men’s Physique. It’s a new sport for me and it teaches me how to better myself not only in the gym but outside of it as well. I feel that Men’s Physique would take my career to the next level with modeling and being a role model for other people.
