The hardest part of my prep was giving up my favorite foods and, toward the end, living on low carbs. For motivation, I used pictures and videos of other competitors, as well as the thought of not wanting to let my family down. My wife was VERY supportive during the process.
Succeeding as a competitor is simply a matter of putting maximum effort into a sport that doesn’t always get the appreciation it deserves. Those who dig deep and do not quit will reap the rewards they seek and will take home a trophy.
Eight years of hell. Eight years of failed diets. Eight years of fighting with David Johnston, Adam McVey, and now Matt Porter, about said failed diets. Eight years of 90-minute cardio sessions. Eight years of seeing 200lbs on the scale over and over again. Eight years of beating my body down to pure exhaustion. Eight years of failure! Why the f*ck would I ever take part in anything like that? Why would I subject my mind, body and soul to such torture?
