Pro debut in the books and what a show it was…🤩

we came into this show with zero expectations, it was a feedback show to see what the judges want from me in the Pro level then we will take this offseason to grow and work on the feedback, but we came to battle and finished 5th in Masters 40+ and 15th in the Open, to say that we’re over the moon happy is an understatement, first Pro show and we placed what a privilege to be able to compete with the quality of athletes that we’re on that stage. i owe everything to my wife/coach IFBB pro Luciana Esquilin for making my physique competitive at this level and for always being honest and having back, to Gold’s Gym Classic and MikeRattenni IFBB Pro for putting together one of the best shows I’ve been a part of, from the care they gave to the athletes and coaches, to the production by the goat Mitchell Gilbert and the level of professionalism the show was ran, can’t wait to see how much bigger it will be next year now that Open Bodybuilding will be in the lineup!!! Get Like Us Physiques came to battle and we did work, all our athletes placed in their classes and got some Overalls18 medals to be exact! We’re some proud coaches over here!!! Coach was competing for the best team all night long, we almost got it! being able to compete in my home state in front of all my day ones, and judges that have seen my career since the beginning is a feeling I can’t even explain, hearing my named called all over the convention center while I was on stage was unmatched! Our dear friend IFBB Pro Dan Hawtin and the team from Iron Lair Apex thank you for all the support from day one y’all had our backs so know that we will always have yours!!! and getting to meet Mr. ⭕️ himself Phil Heath was such an honor, he took the time to talk to every athlete and their families, class act! 🐐 Now we’re back on peak week for Masters Pro in Pittsburgh our second home so we’re ready for battle! jobs to do…
