With -After suffering a motorcycle accident and undergoing surgery, I was told I may never be able to get into the military or police academy because of my injuries. I was also told specifically I would never be able to “Lift weights”… So that is exactly what I decided to do. I got a gym membership in October 2012, attended a bodybuilding show in November and began training in December.
us today is Devan Pina. Congrats on a couple great showings on the MP stage! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
-My most recent show I competed in was USA Bodybuilding Championships in Las Vegas. The two weeks prior to USA’s I competed in both Miles Nuessle’s shows: The Terminator and Western Regionals.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
-It was an extremely tough 12 weeks so when the show came around, by pre-judging I knew I wasn’t dialed in and conditioned like I should be. However, I was pleased with first call outs.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
-As usual the judges did very well in selecting the top five. From there it was just left to critique minor imperfections. In the end, the results were hard to argue with.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
-Men’s Physique is growing exponentially. As I continue to compete, I as a personal trainer, am better able to help others reach their individual goals and success in bodybuilding
