A RETURN TO THE BODYBUILDING STAGE!!!!

- After being away from the competitive stage for 7 years, I am returning to compete in my absolute favorite division: bodybuilding!!! This time around it'll be in the NPC. Those of you who have been long time followers of mine know my bodybuilding history, but those who don't: I am a former natural pro who earned an IPE Pro Card in the NANBF back in April of 2017. At that point, I had been bodybuilding completely drug-free for nearly 20 years. That had been my 6th contest(27 week prep) and 10th time that I had dieted down to single digit levels of body fat. With each passing month/year, I just continued to feel worse and worse. Something was not right. After putting up with the increasing fatigue, depression, disturbed sleep patterns, memory loss, and just not feeling normal I decided to go and get my blood checked...first time in 25 years at that point because I hate doctors and needles!!! Of course I passed out when they drew my blood, but it got me the answers that I was looking for. My hormones were all kinds of messed up and I had to decide if I was going to continue putting up with feeling horrible, or do something about it. It was a big decision for me because I took such pride in what I had accomplished and worked so hard at for 24 years in a row. So on February 19th of 2021 at 8am, I officially began TRT and thyroid supplementation through a HRT clinic. They monitored my levels and worked alongside me on my progress, and within weeks my quality of life improved dramatically. I really wish that things wouldn't have turned out this way, but when you're on a high for so long and doing great you just feel invincible...like nothing can stop you. Well, what can and has happened to other former natural bodybuilders who have put themselves through the ringer of precontest dieting/training for a show have also suffered a similar fate. I just had to say: "you know what, that's just life sometimes". I had a hell of great 24 years of being completely natural and this just marks a new chapter. I will NEVER forget all of that history, because I earned all of it. I was a bada$$ mfer throughout all of those years, and I still to this day encourage the youngsters to stay natural for as long as possible, if not forever. With such a weak current society and constant peer pressure from social media "influencers" pushing drug use on people, it's no wonder we don't see very many people putting the actual work in anymore. If they do, their foundation is being built by drug abuse and not the most important aspects: diet, training, discipline, and just having the heart/passion for this lifestyle. I
I could rant about this for days, but I'll end it right here. This is what my current goal/passion is for the next coming months, and in between all of the hard training while I prepare for this show I will still be uploading what I always do when it becomes available. I know YT tries to keep its content creators in a box with sticking to a specific niche or whatever, but this is the biggest piece of who am and I will not create a whole separate YT channel just for fitness content. If it doesn't get pushed or promoted, F*** it who cares. What's important is that there still is a lot of you out there who watch/watched that kind of content on this channel in the past. So here is a small portion of it. If you guys want to see more stuff like this as I prepare for this contest, drop it down in the comments below. I know that I'm very much a post and ghost RUclipsr, but that's how I get s*** done and done well! Follow me on IG and Tiktok as well for frequent videos from the gym and guitar short form videos. I do them regularly. Thanks so much for the support you guys, you rule!!!

I first clicked your videos years ago because who doesn’t want to see a buff guy shred a BC Rich. Now I stay because of how wholesome you are and you’re encouraging me to try to defeat this shoulder injury that keeps me from both playing guitar professionally and lifting literally anything anymore. I’m 30, USAF vet and used to lift quite regularly, now it’s affecting my employment. Don’t tear your rotator cuff folks
Same here bro, I do Construction and have two tears in my shoulder and at risk of ending my career. Keep your chin up and stay positive bro! You'll get past the shoulder and get back at it!
Kevin! It's Clint! You look great my man. I'm glad you are doing well. We should get a bite to eat during one of your bulk sessions😅 i don't talk to many from our high school days. It would be fun to catch up💪🏾
Hi Clint.
@BrionBirdMakowski birdman! What's happenin? How have you been?
KEV HAVE YOU TALKED TO OUR GOOD BUDDY CLINT?
Duuude! Let's GOOOO!! I've been DYING to see you back in the gym!! I've been hitting the gym for about a year now and I'm really trying to push myself hard this year! Was already a fan of the channel but this takes it to a new level!
Must feel great to be back. Many bodybuilders start competing when their young and retire by their 40's and you seem to be going as strong as ever dude. Keep it up, brother.
Do more bodybuilding videos!! Looking forward to following you on this journey man!
You're an inspiration to the rest of us out of shape musicians. Gonna start working out tomorrow!! ROCK N ROLL!!!!!

every natural pro i've seen training always has the training dialed in. to make it far as a natty you've gotta know your stuff. how big were your arms at the peak of your natural career?
Кев шикарен как обычно!!!
Came a long way from learning how to play Mary had a little lamb
Any tricks to being able to play guitar after hitting forearms? Or is it better to just skip playing guitar that day?
Do you still train max ot ?
Who should have won...Derek or Hadi?
Holy shit back in the day your FFMI was right at 25 the limit for human testicles.. now with TRT you shot up to 29 no problem
A return? When TF did U ever stop?🤣
Forearms are bigger than his calves.
😜 "Promo SM"
this looks like a bad idea for his long term health.
Getcha Pull !!
"natural pro". lol
Dude, I have got to find the discipline I have with guitar, and apply it to exercise/working out. 🫡 dope shit.
