2020 NATURAL SOUTHERN STATES CHAMPION

STATE OF THE CONTEST....THIS SHOW IS GOING TO HAPPEN! We have been asked quite often if it is understandably because of all the cancelled contests this year. Th...is is Natural Build Fitness's (Becky and I) third contest this year. In March the NANBF/IPE developed a Standard Operating Procedure that is a guideline for our promoters to all CDC, State and Local rules for COVID. Because of this the NANBF/IPE has been without any instances staging events this year. The only issue we can see between now and the contest would be gathering size. With our Live judging format we can manage this. This year the Mr.&Ms Minnesota and IPE North America was restricted to as low as 10 spectators and it went on. Right now we are at 250 for gathering restrictions for the house. Why tickets are not being sold? Making sure of our gathering restrictions are not going to change. You will most likely be able to buy them next week for the Worlds & Nationals. Competitors? No worries! So enter. This is not red a flag or desperation plea... Athlete numbers amazingly are even at this point with last year. SO IT IS ON BABY!! See more

2020 NATURAL SOUTHERN STATES CLASSIC CHAMPION JAMES R. PLEASANT JR. 40+ BODYBUILDING PRO CARD WINNER... Hometown: Kansas City, Mo. Height:6 ft 3in Weight: 225 (Contest) 250-260 (Non-Contest) Occupation: Emergency Response Material Hander for the United States Department of Agriculture Marital Status: Married, no children. Graduated from: University of Phoenix with a BS in Information Technology A dare inspired my interest in competing. I worked out with 3 friends every Saturday morning. We called ourselves the 6 AM crew. Two competed (one NANBF/IPE and the other NPC), and I worked out just to get back in shape. The third, who was the most athletic out the group, was on the fence about competing due to his family and professional commitments. Then one day we were talking, and I said, if you do it, I’ll do it with you. And after my first show, as they say, I got bit by the bug. Even though I been competing only for a few years, I have always considered myself athletic. I served in the USAF as a combat communications technician. I had no option but to stay in shape. It was when I separated in 2003 that life took over and I did not stay consistent with a normal regiment and made poor eating habits. My only advice about fitness and health is that you, owe it to yourself. So, keep going! Just put one foot in front of the other! It will certainly test your dedication and discipline. You will find out who is in your corner and who is not. You will have time management concerns. But when you reach your goal or level of fitness, you will have a good sense of accomplishment. And take what you have learned about yourself and apply it to your everyday life. Take it from a guy who started his journey at 280 to stepping on stage for the first time at 44 years old and 213 lbs.! I persevered, saw it through, and now fortunate enough to win Master bodybuilding (becoming an IPE Masters Pro) and write a bio that will hopefully reach someone who is in need. Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)! Stage Pics By LIQUID SPECTRUM www.liquidspectrum.com

GATEWAY NATURALS 2020... SUCCESS! Becky and I want to thank all our competitors for competing in this less than desirable year. Just a true testament to the hu...man spirit that we can find a way even when odds are against us. Many of you have had to train at home being creative with trying to emulate weight training. When others ate themselves into oblivion you ate healthy and kept your focus towards your goals. Trainers?..You have to be Saints! Trying to work around all the issues and keeping competitors focused and on path. This year it was not about figuring out Macros it has been dealing with cancellations then trying to figure out where to go and compete for your clients. I want to thank all of you that attended adhering to the Covid rules as well. We understand this is really getting old but appreciate your help in keeping us in compliance. See more

2020 NATURAL SOUTHERN STATES CHAMPION GINGER TURNER - OPEN FIGURE PRO CARD ... Hey, I’m Ginger Turner from Rogersville, Missouri. I’m a personal trainer & lash artist! My husband, Kyle and both girls, MayLee & Jovi always cheer me on!! I’m 5’6, 145# normally with a stage weight of 128#. I wasn’t a high school athlete, training didn’t come natural. I was raised on Hamburger Helper and Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. Hello twenties and a new boyfriend that was in the weight room daily. Kyle has been my inspiration from the beginning. I eventually found my way into CrossFit, the weight room felt like a torture chamber. It turned out, I thrive in a group setting and my competitive spirit grew from there. Seven years passed with progress, relationships, certifications of my own but a slow fade of poor diet overriding my training. I was at my wits end living a busy life and two small toddlers when I broke down to hire a trainer. I was in the weight room again where the switch flipped. I’m leaving out a lot of the nitty gritty, my natural urge to resist what was comfortable but you get my jist. My point is, there isn’t just one way to do fitness. The time frame is really a time line and it’s important to find what keeps you goal oriented plus entertained. With all the hysterical facts about the year of 2020, I can add a figure pro card to my history book. This is just a chapter to my life. I have hit the stage a total of three times & it was an honor. The NANBF organization tops my chart with a bonus of well ran events. I would love to thank Coach John Gorman, Kyle & the girls, Team Gorman athletes, family and friends for all the support and patience through my prep and after. I’m training towards my IPE pro debut in the summer of 2022 if life will support the challenge. Stage Pics By LIQUID SPECTRUM www.liquidspectrum.com
