No, I probably won't get on a national stage again until next year or later. There's a very slight possibility I might do the Jr Nationals this year, but more than likely I'll wait until 2010 or even 2011.
I don't see the USAs happening until even further down the road... I just don't consider myself of that caliber yet.

How have you fared in your weight class at the michigan shelby? Have you done westerns or central states? Just curious. I havent been to the last two shows mentioned, and wondered how the caliber was compared to the state championships, since all 3 are national qualifiers ( Im 90% sure they are at least

)

My first show was the Central States (at the time it was called the Motor City) - I won the novice division there, and took 2nd in the open middleweights (only weighed 158, lol). In 2006 I placed 5th as a middleweight at the Jr Nationals, and in 2007 I placed 6th at the same show, same class.

The Michigan is almost always tougher than the Central States and the Western.

Oh so is this your first time doing the michigan? Are you just doing it to re qualify for jr nats?

And yea, i always assumed the michigan had better guys for the most part. There are some monsters that show up there....

He improved a lot, do you have his previous pics handy to compare them to these?

He reminds me a little bit of Main event's phyique.
