I’ve been thinking about competing for awhile, I’m just not sure where to start. People at my gym think I could do very well. I’ve heard of this guru in my area who has coached several bodybuilders at my gym. I’m a personal trainer so I think I have enough knowledge to get ready for a show but I’m thinking about hiring a bodybuilding coach/guru since this is my first show. Have you used a bodybuilding coach/guru, and what qualities do you look for in that person?

Hey Brett! Congratulations on winning the overall at the NPC Mr. Missouri. What, if any, changes are you going to make to your training for the North Americans? I gotta ask you, what prompted you to compete at the Missouri State? I saw you won the overall at the NPC Muscle Mayhem last May so aren’t you already qualified for national bodybuilding competition? Were you just “trophy hunting”?
