Sometimes you just have to flex! Getting a lot of feedback on my legs being bigger. Means so much that you are noticing that because they have been severely injured since 2014. I kept grinding although very injured but was training with extreme pain. In fact at southern states last year my right knee was so bad I could not bend it and told the backstage crew when I get down on stage for posing routine I may not get up! Injury is something that happens to all of us and something I don't like to talk about because I never want it to seen as an excuse. I can tell you there were many leg training sessions in tears and got so bad for my Nationals prep I was in tears trying to do my cardio. Well, long story short I AM INJURY FREE!!!!!!!!!! Taking nothing for granted and training hard but smart and my legs are finally coming back to what I knew them to be! :) You never know a person's story especially a bodybuilder because in this industry no one likes to hear a so called excuse as to why you didn't perform as you should. So I didn't say anything about any of the injuries in my knees, hamstrings and calf and oh yeah my foot! LOL... A lot of times if you push one injury it will "snow ball" into many when the body has to compensate for the original injury. So I am well on my way to a great show prep and yes I will be on stage this year with the guidance of my amazing coach and like my coach said "we are going to freak them out this year"!!
