TJ competed in his firs NPC show this weekend. When we picked which show he was going to compete in we picked the Phil Heath Classic because it was the closest show and fit in with his timeline to prepare. Little did we know, that the show would have over 700 competitors & would be the largest national qualifying show in the NPC. There were so many talented competitors there and you could really tell how hard many of them worked preparing for the show. The week before the show was filled with lots of anticipation and so many questions about the how, what, where, when & why's of competing. Thankfully TJ had an AWESOME coach Erik Delarosa who was there to answer any question we had and provided TJ with so much support it was unbelievable. Erik and his wife, Jamie, who you will see in my first fitness feature next Moday; have been such amazing friends & supporters, we could never repay them for everything they have done for us. Seeing TJ on stage being recognized for all of his hard work & dedication was so surreal to me. About a year ago, TJ told me his dream would be to compete and do fitness modeling...as of Saturday half of that dream came true for him. Watching him on stage made me so proud. Here are some pictures from the competition.
Sorry for the red glare the lighting on stage made it hard to get quality pictures.
We are so thankful to everyone who came out to support TJ during the competition. I wish he could have gotten a picture with everyone who was there but hopefully we will at the next competition.
TJ ended up placing 7th in his class which, in our opinion, is awesome for his first show. He achieved his goal of getting first call outs so next time we will set our sights a little higher but we are VERY pleased with how this show turned out.
