"I have always been pretty athletic. I played six sports while in high scool. After high school, I lifted
weights, would run and swam to stay lean because I liked the look of muscles opposed to the popular Hollywood
emaciated look. I later attended the 2004 Loan Star Classic in Plano Texas and was impressed by the physiques
of the womens figure competitors and realized that was the look I was going for. I immediately started training
in July 2004 and did my first competion on November 13, 2004 - the John Sherman Classic. I haven't been
competing very long, however I really enjoy seeing the progress I've made when I diet down. Even if I don't
place well, I see it as a yearly maintenance to find out what needs to be focused on for the next
competition." |
