2020 was your first year in the 212 division, and the first time you didn’t have to go down to 192 pounds in years. Was it liberating to know you could finally keep all your muscle and show it on stage?
For me, the best part of switching from Classic Physique to 212 was that the stress factors of losing muscle and making that lower weight were gone. I knew I could add more muscle and still be able to get to 212. There were times shortly before contests as a Classic pro where I was genuinely worried I would not make 192, and I would not be allowed to compete.
