+ 2 First Show and Nervous as Hell
Gents.
I have been on a journey for past 6 months to take of getting my physique back to where I could make my wife jealous by walking down street with her, sans shirt. To continue my journey I got back on the wagon and like my sobriety fully emersed myself. I decided back December to prepare for a show thats 2 weeks out from now in the Physique category. Basically for guys that dont know, you wear board shorts and get judged on how close to movie star look you have. Im really excited about my progress, but damm am I nervous to get on stage. Ive always been a wreck and had social anxiety with public speaking. Ive already told myself that backing out isnt an option, but hoping I can get feedback from some vets or heck even share some stories of your first time. Hearing other dudes experiences helped in NA so why not in bodybuilding.

good luck!!! i know the feeling, and nothing is like it...you will do great
Testgod4lifeThanks for all well wishes guys. Ill make sure that I have some pics to share. I can attribute my success to hard work and knowledge. Sticking with a program is something I have become good at. I tell my NA crew that having dudes at gym tell me I look like good provides a better high than Fent ever did.
Testgod4lifeA big "No Homo"
This definitely warrants a no homo after it.
Good luck man! Have fun with it!
It won't just be you who will be nervous come show day. All the other Competitors will be feeling exactly the same as yourself.
With two weeks to go you have plenty of time to make any little changes. Physique isn't about being diced to death, keep your diet on point and water load a week out and you should be great come the day. Don't forget to smile lol.
Good luck !!!
Everyone on eroids will be cheering for you bro so when you up on stage in the back of your head just think to yourself man I cant wait to tell my homies at eroids. Also pop one nut out of your suit that will keep all eyes on you make sure you wink a lot Ronnie himself told me about that tactic
Testgod4lifeYeah. Not so sure if was possibble to have a nut sticking out. Im trying to win votes, not a weekend at Uncle Eltons. That did have me laughing my ass off though.
At any rate, if you've been doing your cycle right you shouldn't have any nuts to stick out.
Hello Sir,
Great to hear about your decision to compete. All of us, who have ever competed, been through this stage, all the following shows you do will still be bit stressful, that's normal, we all go through this.
Just want to wish you a good luck, would be great if you could share some competition pictures with us once it's done
Regards
Respect! Best of luck!!
Good luck I know what you’re going through I’m just as nervous for my show coming up. You put in the work so go present it!
You have already done all the hard work, just need to finish it. Would advice to have someone with you on the competition day, someone who has done this before so you can be guided through day. Think the biggest stress you get is from not knowing where to go and what to do so you don’t miss you class etc. Once it’s done, it feels like the major job has been completed and you feeling relieved. Good luck
You will be fine bro you already told yourself your not backing out. Step one complete. Preparation breeds confidence and confidence relievs stress. Your doing what you need to man get that posing on point and continue to not settle kick some ass man!
RustyhookerDo it dude!! If you enjoy the rush of adrenaline, youll be hooked. Its fun and the crowd will make it worth while. Last time i was on stage a few years ago, i made hundred bucks in 5 minutes. Different type of stage but its still just as fun as the first time.
Lmao that’s great
RustyhookerGotta enjoy life...is flys by fast. Lol
Testgod4lifeNo doubt. I did once dance for a hog roast, buts thats back when i was using. At the time they looked like 10s, but looking back im not ashamed to say that I wrestled a greased pig for first time that night.
All jokes aside I get the adrenaline part, and I get off on chics turning around to second glance, but whole lot different when all eyes are on you. Im working up courage and watching posing vids on youtube.
Maybe it’ll only take this once and you will loose the fright, do it, you will be happy you did
