After quite a serious accident during a mountain bike race where I broke my shoulder, I started lifting weights to build back my strength and quickly noticed my body change and add muscle. This spurned me on to enter my first bodybuilding show several years later, and still continue to compete to this day
One of the first shots taken before my first bodybuilding competition. My goal from was to add more thickness to my frame, carving deeper striations in my delts/biceps. I also wanted my obliques to be more clearly defined
Taken at the PDI Night of Champions in Hackney, (UK) the night after placing 4th at the NPA British Finals in the middleweight division
I want to gain around 5% more muscle before starting to diet down for the World Fitness Model Finals
Goal (Long):
In training for the WBFF World Fitness Model Championships in Toronto on Sep 19th, I will be competing in the Pro Fitness Model category, and want to come in at around 185lbs at about 4% body fat. This will be my 20th contest and I don't want to settle for anything less than the best.
The last time I was on stage was at the FAME World Finals in July of last year, and I weighed in at around 178lbs around 5% body fat.
The leanest I've ever been is around 3% fat at a lightweight 176lbs.
This year will be the best yet!
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 5 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
4%
Upcoming Contest:
WBFF World Fitness Model Championships (Toronto)
