MinMaxMuscle's journey to the Metropolitan!
My Story:
I started lifting 3-4 years ago when I was 14 years old, hoping to have that "Perfect Beach Body" that all girls talk about and love.
Not surprisingly, I only put on about 5 lbs the first year eating nothing but 3 meals a day and a scoop of protein daily after each and every chest workout.
You heard it right, daily chest workout, Haha.
After searching frivolously for a solution to add more muscle, I ended up signing up for a bodybuilding and fitness forum (bulknutrition).
Thats where I learned the basics of diet and nutrition, and its importance in building muscle mass.
During the year of 2007, I started to eat alot more, and gained a significant amount of muscle mass,
paired with a proper training program that didnt involve the pectorals every single day.
I responded very well to the new diet and training, and even ended up winning the Bulkfest 2007, which is a contest that was held by Bulknutrition.
Fast forward to 2009- I was finally a senior at Brooklyn Tech Highschool,
and several coaches and gym teachers held a schoolwide bodybuilding event which was slated for April 30th of 2009.
Naturally, I felt very motivated to join- to test out my abilities on stage against other students.
For the next 3-4 months, I trained INTENSELY and dieted with a dedication that I have never had before, all in order to do my very best on that stage.
The decision to join the competition was a good one, as I had earned 1st place in that show!
My Goals Now:
As I had placed 1st in] my first ever bodybuilding show, I feel the need to test out my genetics and efforts on a bigger stage.
What stage? The NPC Metropolitan.
Thats right, a place where nothing but genetics, hardwork and dedication will get you to the top 5.
With the help of the one and only Rich Lauro, I will push myself beyond my limits to face off against a tough line of competitors at the Metropolitan.
So all that being said....... LETS DO THIS!
