People ask me if I will ever compete again? Well age and injuries do hamper me from being able to work like I would like to but here is the thing. Do I miss being on stage, in condition, the anticipation of a first call out, the trophies, the overalls, sure that's what makes bbing exciting. But what do I really miss?
DLB and her hubby Rob came to my gym on their Tour a couple years ago. She was just a week out from her pro show. She looked great, met with her fans and it was a good time.
Next morning she finished her workout then hit the stepmill at the highest level for about an hour, she literally ran those steps as fast as one cld go for an hour. She got off walked to the front to wait for Rob. She stood for a few mins then literally collapsed and laid on the ground limbs sprawled. When I saw this I was so jealous. You see that's what I miss. That feeling of being on limited calories, limited energy but you just busted your ass and literally had nothing left and its all you could do to crawl out of the gym. THATS WHAT I MISS, YOU SEE THE WORK IS MY ADDICTION AND WHY I CAN NEVER SAY NEVER!!!
