Brock Gameface

Game face on.

I’ll be stepping on stage today at 2:00 PM.

I can’t believe the day is finally here. I set this goal at the end of 2025, and now it’s time to see it through. I’m incredibly nervous, but also grateful to have so many people I love around me as step on stage.

I changed up my posing routine a bit last night. While getting my spray tan I was talking with one of the other competitors about his routine. It sounded great. Mine… not so much.

This kid looks like a young Arnold, so I have no illusions about winning. But honestly, I’m just excited to have someone else up there to compete against. One of my biggest fears was being the only guy on stage.

My brother put it best:

“Think open micers get an HBO special after their first set? You’ve already won getting this far.”

I’ve already accomplished what I set out to do. I lifted heavy, lost the weight, learned more about bodybuilding than I ever thought I would, and proved that I could see something difficult through to the end.

Time to step on stage.
