The Sky’s the Limit for Marc Celestin!
Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Thank you! I've always been a fan of the sport I just never thought about competing until I watched a couple shows live and felt like I belonged up there with the other competitors.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
I recently did my first show, November 16, 2013. The NPC Florida Gold Cup. It was a great show and I met a couple great future competitors.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
Being that it was my first show, I was a little nervous not knowing what the judges were thinking but I felt great for finally stepped on stage to display all the work I've put in at the gym.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
As a competitor I was aiming for the overall but I came in 3rd place. It was my first show, but still I felt underrated. But I respected the judges decisions and currently working on improving for my next show.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
The Men's Physique division is fantastic. Again, I'm not just a competitor, I'm also a fan. As for my career, I believe the sky's the limit. I'm still fairly new so I'm just focused on my next competition.
