Coincidentally the biggest show of the year for Masters Physique Divisions was 4 days later in Pittsburgh. I flew out and to my surprise placed 4th! I didn’t know how to pose 3 weeks prior, and now a medal at Nationals! First place got their IFBB Pro card, so I was only 3 places away from being a professional athlete 🤯 It motivated me to actually train for bodybuilding for a full season and try for my Pro Card next year. I’ve always been an athlete first and martial artist. I train as if I’m training for a fight, not for looks. But my philosophy is that Functional Muscle looks better and denser than bodybuilding muscle. I’ve set out to test my theory by continuing the “fighting” style of training to see if it will work on stage.

I’m humbled and blessed to have the energy and means to do this and give all credit to God for supporting my passion to help people become healthier naturally. 🙏
