This past weekend, I headed to Saskatoon for the National Figure/Fitness/Bikini Championships. It was a quick road trip, with my client Brent. The trip and show were great.

Adversity is defined as "a state or instance of continued difficulty". Given this truth, there's no doubt in my mind that Byron Hicks has overcome more than his fair share of adversity on his road to the bodybuilding dias. Many will say he's "rebuilt" his life since the horrible accident he endured in May of 2002 on a 15 minute trip.

Byron Hicks rebuilt his life from not knowing if he would ever walk again to a national-level bodybuilder.

At 20 years old, he just won his first Mens Open Overall title at the NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding Championships on May 7th.
