As you all know by now, I had a pretty decent day competing at the Yorkshire NPA Body-building British qualifiers. My 15 month plan to compete, ended with me winning in four separate categories - the novice heavyweight class, the novice overall title, the best first-timer as well as the overall mens title. Which means I've also qualified for British Championship later in the year. Needless to say I'm still buzzing with excitement and it hasn't really sunk in yet.
I didn't want to compete to just win but to also really enjoy my first taste of competitive body-building and put on a good performance. I think I achieved both. I thought the show was extremely well run in terms of organisational and facilities - which then allowed me to concentrate on my own performance. So thanks to the NPA and it's officials.
Big shout out to my right hand man Neil for sorting just about everything out for me on the day. Another big up to body-building champions Dominic Haley, Akin Fagbohun and Ricky Moore for fabulous advice and direction leading up to the show.
Also, thanks for all the love shown from my friends, family and personal training clients. I have a feeling that this body-building journey isn't over just yet!
