Check out my last post to see all of the upcoming competitions I have this year.

Quick summary:

• May: CJay Classic - A fun small competition with all overhead pressing events. (My specialty)

• June: Wrath of the Strongest - A big competition with a ton of strong athletes showing up. Just plan on having fun and trying to reach top 3!

• July: Regional Championships - If I can win my weight class I get invited to some big comps later!

• October: National Championships - Up against the best in the nation.

• October: Static Monsters - A week after nationals. Just 2 lifts, going to try and perform well even though I'll have little rest in this time period. Top 10 in the world get invited to a competition in Australia.

I've added up all of the hotels, estimated the gas/food, and the airplane ticket for national championships. I'm going to need $3,000 to compete in all of these.

The big push for myself will be Regional Championships, National Championships, and Static Monsters.

I would really like to win regionals, if possible. If I do I get invited to the Arnolds and to be honest it would just be cool to have Arnold yelling in my ear while I'm lifting something heavy! Either way this is a true test to see how I am against the best in my region.

For nationals, I'll do my best, but the biggest thing is I just really want the experience. Also, it's in PA. Maybe @TomFulp can come visit me! Also, this is where my parents and siblings live. I haven't seen them in multiple years and my parents are getting just old enough that there might not be too many visits left. :( Just trying to secure an AirBnb and plane tickets to get there and back.

Static monsters will be a week later. Hopefully I can recover by then and if I reach my lifting goals at the same time I should come in right around 10th place world wide at my weight class. If that's possible I could get invited to a competition in Australia! I might not ever get that opportunity again.

I'll be asking more than the internet for help this time. My coworkers, family, friends, etc... It's going to be a tough year to get through all of this financially, but I'm going to make it happen one way or another!

I'm also trying to brainstorm some ideas on how to work with other individuals to help bring in donations. Maybe there are a few artists that wouldn't mind running a commissioning campaign to help me get there? Just an idea, I'll come back to it soon.
