Last Saturday (May 26) PURE PHYSIQUE hosted it’s first natural bodybuilding and figure competition and it was a huge success. Am I relieved its over…yes. Was it worth every minute that was poured into it and all the stress…ABSOLUTELY! The physiques on display were a true testament to what can be achieved through hard training, dieting and committing one’s self to a goal and seeing it through to the end.
If you think age played a factor you’d be dead wrong. There were competitors as young as seventeen and as old as fifty-six and everyone of them looked great.
Could YOU do it? Sure. You just need to take that step no matter how far-fetched it may seem. Now I know many of you will sit there and say, “I don’t want to step on stage” but the truth of the matter is that you are always on stage. Whether it’s putting on a dress for a formal event, putting on a suit for a board meeting, or jumping into a bathing suit before heading out to the beach you always want to look your best.
Regardless of the degree you are willing or wanting to take your physique there is a certain amount of commitment and sacrifice that’s necessary. I know you’ve probably heard me say this a thousand times but if it takes 2,001 times for it sink in and take the necessary action then I in no way mind continuing to repeat myself. Remember, if it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you!
