"The man I met vs the man I married"
It was always a matter of becoming the best version of himself. Lee last competed as a Bodybuilder in 2013. We reconnected in 2014. He returned to the stage in Classic Physique and earned his place on the Olympia stage as a NATURAL IFBB Pro in 2017. There was 4 years of SOUL searching and MINDSET adjusting. He was successful doing it their way. But he wasn't happy with it. He had no peace. As much push back as he received on all fronts you would have thought it was about THEM. π₯NEWS FLASH... it was always about HIM! Doing it his way. Feeling good about it. Living his absolute TRUTH. Looking himself in the mirror and liking who he saw.
What he came to realize was. He had an impact. He was a beacon of LIGHT. That's the one thing darkness can never be... LIGHT. The two could not coexist "PEACEFULLY" in the same spaces, organizations, etc. High frequencies, high vibrations, bright lights will always encounter opposition. What he learned was the fight was NOT with him. As extremely difficult as that was for him he had to allow them space to fight whatever darkness they had within them. Even though they deserved and earned exactly what he was poised to give them.π€£ππ
Lee Banks Natural Championships was created to shine that light on whoever wanted to experience the family atmosphere in a competitive environment.
I'm just reminiscing. But, he was a happy man my Big Sexy. He had everything he ever wanted and what he didn't know he wanted in the fitness family we gathered over those years. In the end... you could tell who he was by who showed up. Love you guysβ€οΈππ Can't wait to see you.
