Why I Got Started
It all started in January 2008 when my size 44 jeans were getting to tight and the scale was creeping to 240 lbs. Needless say I decided to chase a long time dream of mine and hoped that by the time I turned 40 I could compete on stage. This would be my 3rd show in 9 ½ months and with the support of my family and the immense help of my best friend I knew I could improve on my last 2 shows greatly. The prep time I decided would be 10 weeks long and learning from the past 2 preps I hoped to show up even better.

How I Did It
My best friend did my diet for me and it was about as plain as you could get, but following it paid off huge! For motivation, my wife was coming off of almost three back-to-back contests herself and she motivated me to strive harder and push longer than I have ever before. To save energy and get the most out of my workouts I decided to experiment with split workouts as much as I could, which in the end worked out pretty good.

Suggestions for Others
My wife Candy Sucik was recently featured as the Female Transformation of the Week. I was lucky to have the support of my wife and best friend, both who compete too. Having others around you who understand what you are going through helps out huge. Anyone who has competed before knows what the last few weeks are like and it takes sometimes everything you have just to make it through the day. My wife helped me immensely with my last prep by preparing my meals and motivating to stay on the diet.
Having her to talk to throughout the prep whenever I was down or needed motivation really helped because she knew what I was going through. Having someone close to you who is supported, no matter what the outcome maybe, is huge and can make all the difference in the world. When I started my last prep I knew diet would be the key to success and nothing you could do could make up for not following your diet. Diet it the key to success and having a well laid out plan and sticking to it is everything. No matter what you goals are if you truly want it just go for it, in the end you will be better of no matter the results.
