The amateur bodybuilder who I became friends with, he approached me today at the gym looked at me for a few seconds and goes, so what are you doing April 18th ?
He asked me moving forward if I would be open to competing with him at shows he enters and travel with him for shows split the cost of things and push each to be our best version, he is 28 I'm 36 both enhanced lifters, both going for a pro card eventually and both amateur at this stage in the game.
We will see first how my first one goes and if I like it and can contiune i will consider his hospitality and very kind offer of helping me and entering shows together in the future, it could be another thing that pushes me and him long term and I can help him as well.
He did make a joke that both of our legs sucked but we have damn good upper bodies
i agreed with him lol.
I said probably nothing why ? His reply good you and me are going and entering the fox cities classic bodybuilding show. I said no the hell i am not, I am not ready, he said good, you have till April to reach peak condition, I have your number, I immediately thought in my head, well I can't back out now, I guess that will be my first show.
Talk about back up against the wall and feet in the fire... that made me really damn scared and nervous, he said if I compete as a true novice I can compete twice that day in the same show.
Push day today went very well. I hit a new pr on decline bench 230lbs for 10 clean reps.
I also decided I'd switch it up and get back into training dips, first set was bodyweight the two working sets, I decided I need to push and force growth, I hung two thick heavy chains around my traps, I hit 2 sets of 10 very hard fucking reps, not sure the weight of the chains, it was fun.
