About
My name is Josh Best, I’m a 23 year old, lifetime natural bodybuilder. I’m a little under 5′6 and weight around 200 Lb in the offseason. I live in Omaha, Nebraska with my girlfriend Pearl and her daughter Brooklyn. I’m not the biggest, best, or strongest… but I’m striving to do the best I can. I workout at both Gold’s Gyms in Omaha with brother Zack whose main focus is Strongman.
I don’t claim to be an expert in anything… I definately have more questions than I have answers at this point in my bodybuilding/powerlifting career. I go to Layne Norton and the Bodybuilding.com Contest Preparation forum for help when I need it. I thought by making my actions public and my thoughts known I could get some help from some more experience bodybuilders and help some other young/inexperienced bodybuilders at the same time. So I created this blog as I train and prepare for the Kansas City Golds Classic in Sepetember 2008.
Why I’m Natural
When I first started bodybuilding I wanted to do steroids. It’s the only way to get big, at least super big like the monsters in the IFBB. However, I never really had the funds, I didn’t know where to buy them, and I didn’t know what or how to take them. I still don’t… but now here are my reasons in order of why I don’t use them:
Costs too much! - I’d rather spend my money on other things, I think this way about most supplements too.
Risky - It is risky… so is driving a car… however this is a risk I’ll go without.
Knowledge - I don’t have the knowledge nor do I want to learn all the chemistry behind it all.
Family - This goes along with Risky, but there are just more important things in life.
Natural bodybuilding - There’s a place for me to do my thing, so why bother?
