for a former fat kid who was made fun of picked on ( not really pushed around, I was bigger and fatter than most of my classmates), it felt well in the words of the oak...it felt
FANTASTIC LIKE HAVING SEX WITH A WOMAN AND CUMMING!!!! no but honestly it was pretty damn SPECIAL TO ME! when they said i made top five as i came off stage i thought hell yeah ok don't get too nervous your probably fifth. so a second in the heavies blew my mind. I was so pumped, my father and mother were there mom and father in law, clients that I train, trainers that work for me, some friends of mine, but most importantly my beautiful wife and family!!!!! they have been so wonderful throughout the entire twenty four weeks which really made it possible for me to reach this goal.
Mr. Shelby Starnes,
You Sir are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN in the art of bodybuilding nutrition and physique transformation. what you where able to help me do by looking at a poor quality photograph that I sent you late on Sunday nights BLOWS MY MIND. now granted I am a great student and clay from which to work, but you my friend are a GENIUS!!! I am so very happy with my results I wouldn't change a thing. THANK YOU so very much for taking me on as a client. I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future not only with me but with other that I will direct you way. I don't receive a compliment that I don't attach your name to in my thank you. YOU ARE THE MAN.
SHOW FUNNIES
1. my brother put so much pam on me before I went on stage Tracy Greenwood actually came over and grabbed me and told me I couldn't compete till I wiped most of it off
2. I was sitting in the front row of the show in my shorts and shirt when they called out the finalist for the heavies.....had to strip down and run up from the audience to jump in line
3. weighed in wearing one of my wife g-strings, had tanned before the show and went from there to the show.
breakfast today: left over flank steak, four whole eggs, 1 cup oats with cinnamon, water, black coffee.......................I'M HOOKED!!!! TIME TO BUILD SOME MORE MUSCLE!!!!
Sincerly, Matthew T. McGee
