I would have to answer yes to both of the original questions because to get in the kind of shape you need to be in to place well you have to sacrifice a lot of things. The first show I did, my girlfriend had a tough time being with me because I was so moody and always too tired to go out or do anything.

Last year I did my first competition, and my girlfriend and I came extremely close to breaking up several times. I was in school, working part-time, and at the gym twice a day for a total of three hours. When I was home I was either studying or cooking meals for the next day. There was very little time that we had to just spend together. I didn't go out because one, I was too tired and two, I didn't want to be around all the smoking and drinking.

It was extremely rough, and I almost quit training a couple times because of our relationship, but finally things worked out. I would not advise anyone to compete unless they have all the time in the world to devote to it and don't have a significant other to be responsible for.
