WE WON! Open Men’s Physique Tall Class. #1st Place! 🏆
I have SO much to say, SO many people to thank and SO much footage to show ya’ll!
Stay Tuned! I gotta go EAT now. 😋🍔🌭🌮
Something I’ve noticed about angry men on the internet…
Whenever they insult another man, they almost always go straight for his looks.
My DMs are full of “you’re ugly.” My X replies are full of comments about my nose, my lips, my face, my body…
I wonder why that is. 🤔😉
4 WEEKS UNTIL I STEP ON STAGE AGAIN.
10 weeks out vs. 4 weeks out.
Not gonna lie, today I got frustrated.
I sent these two pictures to AI without saying which was which and asked which one looked like the start of my cut.
It picked the picture from today. 😂
Like damn, I’ve been busting my ass and you’re telling me I looked better when I started?!
And then I realized I’m doing the exact same thing I told myself I wouldn’t do this prep.
Last year I stressed myself out SO much leading into my show. Then peak week came, the magic happened and I ended up looking completely different on stage.
I remember afterwards telling myself next time I’m just going to trust the process and stop stressing every little thing.
Well… here I am doing it again. 😂
The funny part is I KNOW right now I’m depleted. Food is lower. I’m flatter. We still have 4 weeks to go and I haven’t even gotten to peak week.
But this sport will really fuck with your head sometimes.
People can tell me I look great all day and for some reason it goes in one ear and out the other. Because if I don’t see it myself, it almost doesn’t matter what anyone else says.
And I think there’s a lesson in that way beyond bodybuilding.
If you’re always waiting for some future version of yourself before you allow yourself to be happy with who you are, when does it actually end?
Because once you get there, you’ll probably just move the goalpost again.
So yeah. Today I’m frustrated.
But I’m also 4 weeks away from doing something I worked my ass off for.
Gotta take my own advice and trust the process.
4 more weeks. ❤️
For those who have been cheated on or severely betrayed by someone close to you, what helped you the most with healing?
What helped you stop the mental rumination and obsessing over every detail?
I cannot believe I’m doing this again. 😂
I have another project and need someone to BUILD me a website.
Completely different project from the one below. I already have all the assets, copy, products, references, and know exactly how I want it to look. I just need someone who can BUILD it.
It will be a Shopify store selling ONE product. I’m completely fine with AI being used to help build it and I’m looking for a decently timed turnaround.
And yes… I learned my lesson. I will be vetting VERY hard this time.
If you’re interested, reply with websites you’ve actually built.
Vouches are HIGHLY appreciated.
Lesson learned. Never hiring for something this important through Twitter replies like this again.
Hired someone from the replies who assured me they could handle the project and meet the deadline. I paid a deposit, gave extremely clear direction, references, deliverables and asked to be kept updated throughout the process so we could make adjustments in real time.
Deadline came and went. What I initially received was nowhere near the direction we discussed and only 1 out of several deliverables asked for. Gave another opportunity to get it right, extended the timeline, and unfortunately we’re now delaying our second team meeting because the work still isn’t complete and have zero communication with the designer.
Not naming or attacking anybody. That’s not the point of this post. This one’s on me for how I hired.
I need a better system going forward for finding, vetting and managing professional creatives for important projects.
You live and you learn.
