Ever since the day I started lifting I became fascinated by the bodybuilding world. I decided to enter my first competition in May 2011. I did the NGA Natural Philadelphia show. I didn’t have a trainer at the time but I researched and viewed forums daily trying to seek advice. I came into the show not completely prepared, and I just wasn’t muscular enough for the bodybuilding world. I didn’t end up placing at that show, but that is where I met my current trainer, who inspired me to try out a physique show. Physique seemed like more of an attainable goal for me because I knew I still have a lot of time ahead of me until my body grows to its fullest.

My interest in Men’s Physique Division began at the start of the year through a friend that had been a huge influence in my life when I was younger. His name is Kyle VanHorn. He has always been into fitness and also competed in bodybuilding taking 1st and overall at his first and only competition. We both shared the passion of training and disciplining our bodies because it is so easily related to our faith. After we spoke that night, I looked into Men’s Physique. It was just introduced the year before and still very new. I found the healthy lifestyle and discipline of Men’s Physique very appealing, so I decided to do a show.

After losing the excess weight, living a healthy lifestyle, doing some fitness modeling here and there and being engaged to my fiancé, which has competed before got me started. I just love it!
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you just competed?
I just recently competed in my second competition at The NPC Southern States, placing 7th in class C men’s physique...
Joining
us today is Micah Buck. Congrats on a great showing at the NPC Colorado State Championships! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I came from a body building background with the ABA and throughout my service in the United States Marine Corps. Going into the Men’s Physique Division was a better choice for me than to do continue with the body building into the NPC. I have a multiple people, coaches, trainers, and fellow competitors tell me to try the Men’s Physique Division. They said that I have a very marketable look and would really look great in the Men’s Physique Division. So once I was Honorably Discharged from the United States Marine Corps in June of 2011, I decided to do a competition here in Colorado. The NPC Northern Colorado Championships was my first NPC Men’s Physique Division competition.
If you’ve
ever subjected your skeletal system to the bone threatening pressure of a heavy barbell during a grueling set of squats, bench press or dead lift, which I am sure you have, you likely did so for a highly compelling reason… GROWTH! Too be more exact, “Muscular Growth.” That pressure is called PERTURBATION which happens to be one of my favorite words and Mindsets. Perturbation in this context means, “An alteration of the function of a biological system, induced by external or internal mechanisms.”

Actually Ian, finally feeling confident with my body is why I wanted to compete in the Physique Division. I grew up the scrawny kid, which made me very self-conscious. I had been training for 5 years until I had met a friend who was getting ready for a show and asked if I was getting ready for the same one. That was huge for me, so I decided to take a leap and go for it. I did my research and fell in love with the Physique division!! I play golf at a competitive level and I love that with the Physique division I don’t have to get so big that I can’t swing the club anymore...
