My nephew is in a bodybuilding competition??

I’ve been to soccer games. I’ve been to dance competitions. I’ve been to piano concerts, softball games, rival football nights, cheer weekends… but never have I ever been to a bodybuilding competition. That’s all going to change in the near future as my nephew is going to pose in all sorts of muscle showing positions on a stage for an audience to see. Wanna know the biggest question I have?

Is he going to get oiled up?

All I know is what I’ve seen on TV and from Arnold Schwarzenegger. You know how when they get prepped to go out on stage and all of the sudden their bodies are 25 shades darker than their face. Shiny level is 45x. Amount of clothing is -96%. I’m already uncomfortable just imagining all the banana hammocks and you might be asking me through the computer now, “Why are you imagining ding dongs in banana hammocks?” Well, it’s like when someone tells you to not think about something. Then all you can do is think about that thing.

He’s been preparing for a long time and even though this is his first bodybuilding event, my nephew’s going to do great. The first in generations of our family (that I know of) to get into bodybuilding. The actual competition’s going to be interesting to track… because a lot like cheer and dance, who really knows how any of the scoring works?
