Very good questions. Yes, it certainly increases my qualifications and credibility as a trainer. It will also help me in promoting our bodybuilding show next May in Columbus, the INBF Natural Buckeye Classic.
Increased endorsements and money from shows will come in time with proving myself on the pro level. I am thankful to have two sponsors now who are very happy with my achievements. My first time out as a pro next year, I am really just aiming to look like I belong up there. I don't have a goal of placing and certainly not winning. I just want decent callouts.

Hey fellas, I still pop in here every once in a while. It is tough to manage multiple journals and online networking sites so my BN journal has been let go for now.
Training is going great. Just started a strength & power routine (that is right Jason!). And I just got MARRIED!!
Life has been very busy, but great. You can catch me regularly on bb.com (yes, I know) and cl.com. Sorry fidoslim.

That's awesome rich. Congratulations on the wedding. What sections over at BB.com are you active in? Assuming their new Personal Trainer section?
I've been hanging around their PL section pretty often now. Bunch of kids and crap there but also some really knowledgable people and I feel I help out around there as well.
