How did you guys/ladies know you were ready to compete?

[Emery]

My wife and I had been going to shows for year. One show she looked at me and said "K, you look as good or better then most guys up on that stage". I just fell back on I'll wait till I'm 40 and maybe do a master class. At the time I was 38. She then said "why wait?". Next, thing I know is wife is telling people "K is going to do a show" . I told her if I was going to do this I best clean up the diet and start figuring it all out. So, at the age of 39 I did my first open middle weight show. 22 competitors in the middle weigths I placed 3rd. To say the least she was right and that was 26 or more shows ago. Who knows I might still be waiting for that first show.

Side note: I never touch a weight till I was 31. Didn't have a clue till I was about 35. Then I started to change my body into a body builders look.

Go for it my friend

That's awesome man! Pure inspiration to me at this point. I am at the age you were for your first show.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Very motivating for me. I have always wanted to do a show, since I can remember, just always thought I was too fat and not big enough.

Now I just have to find a show!!!
