"Training with ROC……..Where do I start, before I started training with Rashid I trained myself and developed my own contest diets. Although I was in good shape, I was not in the shape I needed to be in order to compete at the top level. Honestly, I was skeptically to work with a trainer because I have always trained myself plus word was he could be extremely demanding. But I took a chance and so did he and the results paid off. I don't think I've every hated and loved someone at the same time…… The training was rough and he pushed me harder then I have ever pushed or allowed myself to be pushed. I started training with ROC the first week of February 2005 and competed in my first show of the year that very next month (6 weeks later). I won first in my class and overall. After that I figured he knew what he was talking about….. Working with ROC allowed me to see how important the little things are; rest, being organized, team work and taking care of your body because if you don't it will not take care of you! The hardest and most important lesson I learned was to listen, because one mistake or that one time you didn't pay attention or focus can cost you everything you've worked hard for. I can truly say, I would not have made it to this level if it was not for my trainer ROC Shabazz!!"
