"The Man in The Shorts" 
today is Sedric Patterson. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I love to work out and I kept being asked if I competed in shows and after talking to a few competitors and friends I decided I might as well try it out and ended up loving it.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
I just competed in the Tokyo Joe’s Colorado State. I met a lot of great competitors and picked up a few pointers from some of the veteran competitors. It was a great learning experience.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
Hungry, of course. ha ha But, really, I felt real good. I put a lot of work in for this show and was satisfied with what I brought to the stage.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
I felt like I should’ve won. There’s things that I still need to work on and as a competitive person they’ll definitely be taken care of before the next show.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I think Men’s Physique is awesome! There are so many different ranges of competitors from myself, a rookie, to guys that have been competing for 10+ years. It’s cool meeting and learning things from new people. I love health and fitness so I feel that this is the perfect thing for my career.
You’re telling me I can be healthy, live healthy and I can compete against others like myself? I’m all for that! The most important thing about all of this is that I want to inspire people to not only be healthy but also live healthy.
