Less than 2 Months before the biggest show of my career. It's funny. A year and half ago I was saying the exact same thing. A year and a half ago I won the Musclemania World Championships in the BW category. Normally I always competed in the physical disability category. But that show was different. It had this vibe. California is my home away from home. Some of the most memorable times of my life happened in California . At the World Championships something inside told me to register for not only the Physical Disability category but the BW category as well. When all was said and done I won not one, but two titles that night.

No one ever believed that I could win in a regular weight class against guys with phenomenal physiques and no disability what so ever. But somehow I did the impossible. That night I came in as the underdog of all underdogs, and walked out the World Champion. From that day on I told myself that it was over. I had nothing left to prove. It was time to hang up my number high above the rafters and call it a day. I would now try to live a normal life. All I ever wanted was to be normal like everyone else. But hell whom am I kidding. My life has always been and always will be far from normal. My thirst for competition, my lust for excitement and my love for an adrenaline rush is what propels me forward in life. I always need to have a goal to help me focus. Without one I feel like I'm lost in a maze trying to find my way out. For the past year and a half I felt lost. Now I know why. I decided to step on stage one more time.

On June 23, 2006 , will be competing in the Musclemania Superbody competition in Miami . It's funny that even though I've won the Canadian and World Championship titles, coming into this contest I still feel like once again I'm the underdog. In my mind the only shot I have at winning is to beat myself. I have to be bigger, more symmetrical, ripped as hell and better than last time. The only thing is that because of my disabilities there is only so much my body can handle. But somehow I have break through all the pain that my body will have to endure and focus on my goal in order to win. All I can say is if you thought I looked great at the World Championships, you haven't seen anything yet.

Till Next Time,

Ryan
