I’ve.JPG)
been involved in athletics and competition ever since high school, so I wanted to continue that athletic mindset after I graduated from college. I ran track in high school and in collegiate competitions, but there was no way I'd ever be fast enough to line up against Usain Bolt! Fortunately, I graduated into being a full-time gym-rat and personal trainer. And after being surrounded by various Men’s Physique Division competitors and bodybuilders it was only a matter of time before I made the choice to compete.
Be aware, if you're seriously intrigued with the idea of competing in Men’s Physique then you should give it serious consideration. Personal relationships can suffer. Your friends might not understand why you can't join them for pizza and beer. Unless your significant other is vested in the fitness lifestyle as well, you could very well come to blows when carbs are cut and cardio is high...
One
common occurrence that seems to accompany the competitive lifestyle is the yo-yo effect, or that of experiencing extreme highs followed by extreme lows! Anyone who has been around this realm for even a small amount of time witnesses this and honestly, it does not have to be this way!
Extreme swings not only hurt your physical gains, but also your mental outlook, health, career, relationships, etc. So why do these extreme swings occur?

you Ready to achieve a New Level of Success? – “Breaking the Mental Inertia”
What do Olympic athletes and other pro athletes know or do that normal athletes don't? They know as much or perhaps a bit more than most athletes with regards to training regimen, nutrition, and mechanics; however, they behave much differently. They do what they know, and master each aspect of training. The aspect that Olympic and other pro athletes master is their mindset.
Are you ready to achieve a new level of success in some aspect of your life?
I 
would like to thank everyone again. The response I have received since I started this 3-part series has been incredible. I appreciate you guys telling me your stories and letting me know how powerful this has been for you. I've had quite a few of you tell me how a light bulb went off after reading the first two parts. The realization that it wasn't your fault, but your coaches fault that you weren't in shape in time for stage or for looking better the week before. Here are some more bodybuilding myths:
Eat every 2 1/2 hours or your metabolism will slow down...
When 
do you know you’re ready? How do I even get started on my journey? If you’re like me, you probably asked this question to yourself time and time again . Every competitor has to start somewhere, but how do you know where to start? Where do you go? When do you know it’s your time to take the stage?
I’m here to share my “in progress” journey; my trials and tribulations, successes and failures and everything along the way...
In
my first segment I was on a train bound for NYC to meet up with Mike Lyons and Adam Silver of Silver Model Management. It was just two days after winning my class at the NPC Rhode Island Championships and I was doing everything in my power not to eat everything in sight! I ended up having a great meeting with Mike and Adam and I am now in the process of updating my portfolio so that I can start getting some modeling work as a Silver Model. I feel very excited and feeling blessed to have such an amazing opportunity.
If
you’re a fitness competitor or someone who’s taken their body to a place most haven’t, then you know the commitment and focus it takes to get “cut.” Sacrifice, blood, sweat, and tears are all part of the process. But, does it mean you can’t have social life while dialing it in?
There
are several truisms in life that if followed will certainly lead us down a path of happiness, success, and fulfillment, at times they may seem difficult. In reality though, each time we stray from these is where things go wrong and really get difficult. One of the foundations on which all other things are built is the principle of “Always Doing OUR Best.” This is something that may take a bit longer at times, but in the end it saves us so much time and allows us to ultimately be fulfilled by what we have done!
