2017 NPC Baltimore Gladiator Classic Physique

In 2016, after several years of failing to put all the pieces together on my own, I enlisted the help of a bodybuilding coach and mentor Mr.Rod Smith, who laid to foundation and inspiration for my own exploration as a bodybuilding posing artist. In 2017, sometime around March, I competed in my first and only bodybuilding show to date in the Classic Physique category Class B. The following video was from about 6 weeks out from the show practicing different ideas for my posing routine.
More photos from competition day can be found here but the below are some of my favorite.
