Pictures from my last Pro competition. Probably my best conditioning and fullness to date. I'm taking a little break till mid September when i start prepping for my last 2 shows of the year. If you've ever wanted to get on stage just remember it's hard work, but it's doable. Alot of MENTAL toughness goes into a prep. Checkout the Nspiresl.com if you are looking to compete. Great setup and Transparent judging so win or lose you at least Know ahead of time your scores , plus live critiques. :) #theblackspiderman #bjjblackbelt #nslpro

Your personal Best!!!

Always strive to be the Best you can be. In this world everyone has an opinion yet we all have things we could work on. It doesn't have to be physical, sometimes it's mental. Mine is the way I react to negativity...I always have to remind myself.."Haters gonna Hate". As long as you put forth #yourpersonalbest you should never be ashamed. I'm 8 days out from my next show. Those in miami come out to the NSL show. It's gonna be great. Have a great weekend everybody and lets keep pushing. :) #theblackspiderman #bjjblackbelt #nslpro

Achieving Greatness

#Motivationmonday- This is from 4 years ago. My 2nd to last competition in Brazilian Jiujitsu and my 2nd tournament as a new black belt. I got the kimura submission and that's the face of finally. I'm not sure if I'll ever compete again but I know regardless I have my memories and along the way all the great people I've met. Brazilian jiujitsu is a big part of my life and I'm greatful to still be able to train on a consistent basis. #theblackspiderman #bjjblackbelt

4 Week transformation


"All dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them."

#tbt  So here's my 4 week prep transformation for my last show.  Starting weight was 224 lbs down to 205 lbs morning of my competition. Pictures were taken in the morning. Anything you want to do requires hardwork and consistency.  When I'm not getting ready for a show I eat alot, because with Bjj and my conditioning training  I can afford to. It's all about increasing your metabolism. If you need online training message me for rates and we can work towards accomplishing your goals. #theblackspiderman #bjjblackbelt #nslpro

NSL 3


"If you are afraid of failure you don't deserve to be successful!"

#tbt- Stage shots from my last NSL pro competition. I decided to switch things up and wear some different shorts. I compete in Men's Physique Beach because as far as my physique I stay pretty lean throughout the year. For this show I was probably 205 lbs the morning of the show before food. I probably stepped on stage at 207 lbs..6 pop tarts and 4 burgers to fill out. One of the best things I like about this division is if you have a natural look, no hard, flexing type poses then you should do well. I'm currently  16 days out from my next NSL pro competition in Miami. It's mentally draining sometimes doing so many shows especially when you have so many people trying to get you to do things. Pisses me off sometimes but I guess it's the nature of the game. Anyways this will be my last show then i'll take a little time off before finishing this year with maybe 1 or 2 shows. #theblackspiderman #bjjblackbelt #nslpro

Beauty

"Beauty is about living your life & being happy with yourself inside & out & not worrying about what people think of you."
Good morning! Growing up I never had CONFIDENCE in myself. I was the shy, quiet kid that kept to himself. I battle depression and suicidal thoughts on a daily basis. I'm not trying to get sympathy just stating facts. Those that are close to me know why I do what I do. It always makes me laugh when I hear so and so was talking shit about me...Like they truly know me. Things like that used to bother me when I was younger, probably some of the reasons I wanted to check out early. These days I'm more focused..I don't care who likes me..it is what it is. I'm destined for great things..I know this and I believe this! Keep pushing and make the HATERS talk about you.  ‪#‎theblackspiderman‬‪#‎nslpro‬ ‪#‎bjjblackbelt‬
