I placed 3rd in the Masters Supebody class,

The gains i had made in the last 12 months became evident to me when at grading i was  placed in the superbody divison. Last year when i placed 2nd it was in the performance class so this was a jump of two classes for me .I was happy with my size and condition but feel i was a little better at the Southern Hemisphere Championships the week prior the travel to Germany did not go to plan this year its just one of the obstatcles one faces when competing internationally,

One of the highlights of the trip was having a workout at Markus Rhuls gym and getting to meet him

I placed second in the WFF Masters (2 x winner of this event  previously), having made significant improvements since last year and at my heaviest ever body weight whilst  maintaing my condition, personally i think this was one of  the best  looks i have taken to the stage in all my competitons ,

Having been a national level judge myself for 12 years i must say did not agree with the judges decision this time .The WFF has a distinct criteria which i felt i met the best

Fortunatley even though i still enjoy winning  i have developed an attitude where by I am no longer that concerned with my placings, i am more into  the experiance of competing and enjoying the journey that way one can have longevity in this sport /art ,
