FIRST BODYBUILDING SHOW COMPLETE 🗡️🏆🎮

Holy BALLS. I don’t have words to illustrate JUST how much today meant to me!!! I have been dreaming of doing a bodybuilding show since I first stepped foot in the gym and, despite all the medical complications, the overwhelming fear, and the impossibilities along the way, I made 15-year-old-me’s dream a reality today. 🥹

True Novice: 2nd 🥈
Novice: 2nd 🥈
Open Class B: 5th place out of twelve super jacked experienced competitors!!!

None of this would have been possible without my amazingly beautiful wife and best friend Leilani. She cooked every single dinner for me the last 4 weeks so I could focus on prep and my transition to full rime content creator without a single complaint. She was and is my BIGGEST supporter, my rock, and the entire reason I felt as confident as I did on that stage today. Thank you SO MUCH for being everything I could ever want and need babygirl: the medals I’m holding are medals WE won together and I am so unfathomably grateful for your love and companionship ❤️

A huge thank you to my coach @patrickreyn0lds who has been a source of inspiration since I first followed him 4 years ago. He made every moment of this prep and show day memorable and encouraged + guided me every step of the way graciously. Truly an incredible coach and an even better person 🤝

Thank you to @christopherbarnett for teaching me the ways of his masterful posing these last few months. I firmly believe my placement in the Open B class (most competitive class!) was entirely because of the presentation I was able to display from his expertise. He’s excellent and knows exactly what he’s doing!

Last but certainly not least thank you to my parents, friends, and family - most of which flew 3,000 miles just to see me fulfill this selfish lifelong dream of mine.

To my parents: thank you not only for the excellent X frame you bestowed upon me lol, but for your CONSTANT love and support not only during this show but my entire life. I am BEYOND lucky to have such incredible role models - you have taught me precisely what unconditional love looks like and I am so thankful for both of you ❤️ by @iamcarterpowers

My origin story - the foundation behind every single thing I post. It’s been far from a smooth journey, but it’s made me who I am and I’m grateful for the growth. 🗡️
Thank you for being a part of my journey :)
