Gearhead - thank you for the compliment.
E32038 - man sometimes I get concerned but let me explain where %100 of my drive comes from. This might make sense.
So when I was 15-17 I was lifting weights on creatine playing highschool football. (185 pounds senior year - 18 years old). Right after I graduated, my mother turned me into the cops for selling bud. So I got charged w 2 felonies at 18. I got everything taken care of, used a pre-trail diversion and it took me a while to get on my feet. I moved to San Fransisco with my dad and bought a truck. Him and his wife were having some problems after a while so I moved back to TN with my grandparents because I will not tolerate my mom acting like that towards me. I don’t believe that’s how you “teach” a fucking kid. Later, I started working for my uncle, a crook. A business man. He had recently started a new company ( i am arojnd 19 years old) so I started working for him. Working my way up to making $2000/week sometimes. (Very hard construction work. We did subcontract work for AT&T. He was getting greedy and asking us to do work incorrectly so he make faster money... pathetic. I had $17,000 cash. That’s all I had, the contractor and my uncle himself said they would give me work. I spent all of it on commercial insurance, liability, workers comp, equipment, rentals, everything. Just for my uncle to turn around and stab me in the back telling his contractor that I was the one doing the bad work... although I did tell AT&T he was doing shitty shit because they asked. So now I was jobless living in a 3 bedroom house with 2 dogs and a girlfriend. So u hustle my ass off trying to pay the bills, took an $11/hour landscape job to make it by working 75 hours a week + selling on the side. I snagged another construction job, &18/hour base pay + commission. Made around $1400/week. My foreman was a drunk, a pathetic coke head (although I like coke) this mother fucker was homeless and couldn’t even have a drivers license and I had my class A CDL to haul these directional drills... yes I can run them and a mini ex. So eventually one week I was suppose to make around 1700 and my Forman “cut my pay” down to 1200 that week to make other people happy. Nah, I’m not about that. So I quit. Straight up. Well I have connections at UPS so I got on as a driver making $32:hour. As soon as I got on I quit that too. I sound like a quitter, but here’s really the bottom line. I was fat and I wasn’t about to be stuck in a truck for 12 hours a day for the rest of my life. I’m tired of chasing money. I’m going to do what I love. I missed out on 2 years of bodybuilding from 19-21 and I still look like this after training for 4 months.. I will not be a bum. I quit UPS to persue my training business/competitive bodybuilding. Losing is not an option.
My family is constantly chasing after me trying to figure out where I work blah blah because I have so much dirt on them. They’re scary people, they have a good name but they’re crooks. They’re scared of me making it and runnning my mouth about them, but really I don’t give a fuck about them. I want my success and my future for my family. I know how to bodybuild, clearly I have decent genetics. At the beginning of 2018 I made a promise to myself I would grind for 12 months at this and give it all I’ve got. I got 6 months left, and I’m doing my first show in 11 weeks and another 4 weeks after that. Okay I win both shows, get nationally qualified. Then what? I don’t know. I can’t tell the future all I can do is put in the work, and at the end of the day at least now, I’m doing what I truly love. Peace guys. I appreciate all the great complements. My friends locally support me as well and I am about to move cross country back to San Fransisco.
