5 BIGGEST lessons I learned competing in 3 Shows in a row…
1. You have WAY more in you than you think. A lot of us put limitations on ourselves before we even start the scary goal we have. 
Whatever you think your capable of doing…double it, triple it and that’s actually what your real capacity is. 
2. Losing is necessary. Every single week we came into each show with better posing, better conditioning, because of the feedback from judges, feedback from my coach. 
But if we hadn’t taken a few losses there would’ve been no way to know if those small tweaks needed to be made. 
Losing gives you the tools to be a future champion and makes it so when you get the first place trophy or get that dream body it’ll be that much more rewarding 
3. Gratitude for the process and what you have. 
You need to be grateful for every single step along the road. Even if you don’t “like” doing it . Some people can’t even workout, have two arms, two legs. 
Let alone be able to push themselves everyday. 
I had an incredible amount of gratitude for the support I had along the journey. Just be grateful your in a position to even push yourselves men, some people would kill to be in your shoes. 
4. There is an inner savage within you. That inner savage is literally willing to do whatever the fuck it takes to reach a destination. 
But it will only operate if you have a specific target your working towards, whether it be shows, a weight goal, a bench press goal. 
But this savage will make sacrifices, sleep 4 hours, do cardio at midnight because that motherfucker is driven and every man has this character hidden and is waiting for it to be unleashed. 
5. Make the sacrifices now, to have your freedom and inspire others 
I gave up drinking, meeting up with friends, seeing family, going out to dinner for the last 5 months. 
But me making these sacrifices not only gave me freedom to have a physique I’ve never had before 
It unlocked a physique and character that inspired others to make change, inspired others. So when I do this, I know it’s BIGGER than just ME. 
Now go be the inspirational change gentlemen 👊 and utilize these lessons
