Hey there friends, Zane here and I wanted to share something I've been working hard on personally and wanted to share with you all here as I get ready for my competition in the Michigan NPC Naturals bodybuilding show this Saturday down state!
I don't normally like to post pictures like this, especially on the gym page but I wanted to keep with the Spirit of Bodybuilding and share regardless!
So I appreciate your understanding and I just wanted you all to know I'm typically a little more modest than this.
To showcase where I'm at here is something I'm very proud of. To say that I didn't think I could do it would be an understatement as I know I had a lot in front of me that made this journey difficult. But I'm a fighter at heart, and maybe a little bull headed. Work, family, lifting, good coaches and bad ones, and the random things that came in between the dieting were all things I had to face going through this challenge.
That is to say I started at 194lbs with a coach who had no time for me, to being twenty weeks away from my show date and finding two incredible coaches that brought me up from almost giving up. It wasn't easy, I am now 163lbs and I'm about to step onto a stage I've only ever looked at. Excitement and anxiety rule my everyday. I just hold fast onto the thought of eating that little Caesar's pizza right after 🤤🍕
I wanted to go through this journey over the past two years so I could show my gym friends and family and members that something like this can be possible to do even if your days are packed. Even when you're tired, even when you should have started sooner, even if you're not ready now. I wanted to go through the trenches first so I could lead the way for anyone else looking to make a difference in their life. At Zen your can make a change that leads to a healthy and strong life going forward and I want to be able to help get you there!
Thank you all for your support, I'll have my results posted on this page after the show and I'll even show off my posing routines.
Stay strong,
Zane out!
