Me, winning my first Bear competition.
If I can grow up to be a "Real Bear" /s, so can you ❤️... you just have to have a very clear vision of what you want.
I'm aware I speak with some privilege:
- the younger you start, the better
- you do need consistent access to a gym
- it has to be more important to you than a lot of other things in life
- you have to be humble and willing to learn a lot about your body, from muscular physiology to nutrition to gym psychology
BUT:
I have been poor a lot in the years since this was taken.
I've made a LOT of bad decisions.
I do NOT have great genetics - I am by at least 100 pounds the biggest of any of my ancestors. (We are a nimble people.)
Most of my friends can put on muscle or fat 5-6 times as fast as I can, I've just been doing it for a very long time now.
So... if I could do it, there's a very good chance you can, too.
Message me about training (not on IG, I don't check messages here) - if you visit Seattle, find me on FB or through mutual friends and get a gym session with me. After decades of learning and teaching, I'm a VERY good trainer.
