Started out being the smallest guy of the class kind of thing. Continued working out 5-6 days weekly throughout high school and college. Got a little more serious in '99 when I was introduced to the body for life program by bill phillips. From there i met a guy who got me into actual body building contests. from there the stage has been an exciting second home. 2005 i competed in the NPA and won my first show weight class, 2nd show overall and 3rd show 2nd place weight class. that was all in 2005. 2006 i won my weight class in a pro qualifer finished 2nd in my weight class later that year at another show. currently i am training for my first OCB show and will compete against the pros of the NPA in October for my pro card.
Why I Love It:
It's my time. I de-stress, have time to seriously think about issues in my life whether that be work or personal. And I don't mind playing around with 500lbs on the squat and deadlifts either :D
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by encouragement from those closest to me. I am self driven for perfection so it's not my state of mind not to eat clean and workout..just won't happen. Preparing for shows, competeing and watching my body change during those 12 weeks is also motivating.

Goal (Long):
Improve on my conditioning especially in my legs. I plan to do this with 2 leg workouts per week. I also want to improve my back width.
Overall you seem to be carrying good quality muscle so I wonder what do you want to achieve with your legs?
What program are you going to do to up the quality of your legs?
Keep up the fantastic work.
Judging by the muscle and symmetry here and your excellent placing in last comp you'll be more than ready for the fall show and get that Pro Card. Best of luck with all goals. Andre
