"Growing until 2010 or 2011 and then going for the pro card"
Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Peter Fitschen
Sex:
Male
Age:
22
Location:
La Crosse, Wisconsin, United States
Occupation:
Grad Student at UW LaCrosse majoring in biology with a phisology concentration, teaching freshman biology lab, working at subway for the summer, and doing my masters thesis research on the health effects of black walnuts
I was too small playing baseball at 5'8" 125lbs and 16 yrs old so I started lifting after the sophmore season got over and haven't looked back since.
Why I Love It:
Stress relief and competing gives me a way to challenge myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
Winning an open class at a pro qualifier in my last contest has given me the extra kick in the ass I need to go get a WNBF pro card.
Lifting at a hardcore gym in an industrial warehouse complex where I'm one of the few guys who are natural and trying to keep up with the juiced up guys who don't give natural guys any credit. Also the fact that I know that if I keep busting my ass I'll hopefully be contending for a pro card by the time I'm in my early 30's.
This quote by Kurt Weidner also sums it up for me:
“18 weeks out
Another weekend in paradise. What was I doing? Thinking about blasting shoulders on a Sunday morning when all the other f***ers are still sleeping. Saturday morning my ### was on the treadmill at 6am thinking about what I needed to do this season so I can bring it when I step onstage. Of all the horrible things in life that can happen to you, disappointment is the worst…probably because it’s usually the result something you had the ability to control. 18 weeks…that means a limited number of opportunities to leave it all out there, so when I step onstage I’ll know I took every measure possible to be my best. How many others can say that? It doesn’t matter. All I worry about is me. If the guy standing next to me at the end of the night on show day worked as hard and was able to beat my best I’ll turn to him, shake his hand and congratulate him….but if he beats anything less than my best, then I will forever question myself and live with the pain until given the opportunity to redeem myself. For 18 weeks that’s what I’ll be thinking about because I’d rather endure any degree of pain in the gym on a daily basis than live with the pain of knowing I could have been better!!!”

Great work bro keep training hard and best of luck with all your goals your friend industrialfreak "F*ck the beach muscles, bring on the freak muscles"
Not sure yet but im thinking im gonna do MN show next year! Put on alot of lean muscle in the last two years so im kinda itchin to get on stage again lol. Your gonna take a couple years off stage again to bulk huh? What kinda training is that anyways? Not familiar.
Your profile pic is one of the best ive seen on this bodyspace.Your physique speaks for itself.What exercise do you do to develop your lower lat and back.
Congrats on your 1st place!! Its too bad that you didnt get the satisfaction of receiving the first place trophy that night. But hey your still the winner no matter what.
Peter, Great undertaking, congratulations, please take a look at NurseForHealth.com and see if your research would be applicable or if you would have any thoughts to contribute to our efforts. Best, JJM
I'm going to start dieting on the 1st/2nd of January. I strongly believe that this will be sufficient time to reach the bf I desire. As for the two shows, I don't know. The 26th is my main focus. If I don't feel ready prior to the 12th I'll forgo it to focus my efforts on the one I want to perform better at.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Entry forms are now available online at our website if you know someone who may be interested in competing in April!
