Last Saturday on the 19th March I entered the Novice Bodybuilding division at the Arnold Classic Australia and placed 2nd. The entire 3 weeks leading up to this competition after my win at the IFBB Melbourne Champions has been documented in the film “the ROAD to ARNIE” available at my bodybuilding page.  A no-holds-barred look at my competition prep and my life for those three weeks.

Here are the pics from that Saturday and how my body came in on competition day.

 

MY NAME IS MY NAME

On the 28th February I walked onto the IFBB Melbourne Championship stage and came 1st in the Novice Bodybuilding division and my very first ever bodybuilding competition. This was a qualifier for the Arnold Classic that is on the 19th March. But this day was much more important to me. My father was a professional bodybuilder and always wanted to see me compete. Even though he passed in 2015 here remains in me and everything I do. I haven’t spoken a lot about my father but lets just say I am my father’s son and he is the man that has had the biggest influence and made the biggest imprint on me and the person I am today.

That trophy was for you dad.

The next one at the Arnie Classic, that one I’m doing for me…

Like I’ve said before if you’re top-heavy, keep walking. There’s no other indication of what a blokes character is like then when he has a massive upper body and chicken legs. *cough – looser!

I asked Josh to coach me so he could smash two muscle groups I wanted to concentrate on, my legs and my delts. In this video, I take you through one of my leg sessions that stop me from walking up the stairs to get out of the gym afterward…

RIP the legend JOSH THOMAS. An inspiring bodybuilder, a great coach, and an amazing man.
