I remember when we were new members here and we posted about how we wanted to get big and compete, etc. I even remember that some told us we were fools and had poor genetics, etc. I wish those people were still around to see what's become of you. Oh wait, they aren't. People like that usually give up after a while, while true gym rats like us keep going forward.
It's been amazing to see you come this far over the years. You should post some before pics from back in 2001/2. You certainly weren't small then but you have come a loooooooooooooooooong way.
For all you younger guys out there, Needsize is a perfect example of what one can accomplish if they set their mind, heart and soul to a goal. He earned every ounce of muscle. I remember someone once posted he didn't have the 'genetics to compete'. Now he is not only massive, but a vet of the stage. A true role model for all.
You even have a family now! Wow, I'm starting to feel old! LOL Congrats on everything brother. From the muscles to your family, you said you would do it all and you did.
