“You’ve heard the saying that we don’t plan to fail, we fail to plan. Hard work works. Working really hard is what successful people do.” - Denzel Washington
#HardWorkWORKS
There is no substitute, you get out what you put in.
Training for this moment was rough, but i continued to recycle this; “Hard Work WORKS, somebody out there is working harder than you, but you got something to prove and people counting on you” …
Would repeat this when it got difficult; early mornings, train harder, manage my clients, balance a full time job, going to model castings, being a dog dad, church, bible study, prepping food, that grocery bill, no hanging out with friends, etc … Resilience takes practice.
When I got to that convention center I was committed to what I came to achieve and confident. I trusted in myself as i programmed my own training for this.
I want to first thank God.
Without Him none of this would be possible.
November ‘23, i was cycling and hit by a driver near my home in New York. Suffered 2 herniated discs in my back. I could’ve quit but thanks to the Lord i didn’t.
Thank you to my Mom for your constant support, prayers, and pouring positivity into me. Thank you Dad for all the wisdom and guidance you’ve given me to step in the same shoes you wore as a bodybuildier.
