Shawn Wolfe (aka "wolfe4life")

My name is Shawn Wolfe, I'm currently serving in the U.S. Air Force with 18 1/2 years of service. I've always been into sports mainly to stay in shape for the military. When I got assigned to Japan I started focusing more on strength training and less on cardio and aerobic activities. I started noticing gains in my size and was very happy.

One day I was asked had I ever considered bodybuilding, I was told that I had what it takes to do really well in the sport. From there I began doing research, the different exercises, nutrition, contest prep, etc! A year later I entered my first competition where I won the overall title of Mr. Northern Japan and haven't looked back since!

For me Being 100% Natural and competing 100% Natural has always been my belief and something that I am extremely proud of. It takes a lot more work, dedication, and time but is more gratifying than what others seem to achieve overnight with the help of performance enhancing products.

Using performance enhancing drugs for sports, in my opinion, is an easy way out of working hard...a quick "HIGH" if you may. Not to mention what long term effects that they may have on your body, those are risks I'm not willing or ever want to take. I'm happy with my passed accomplishments and those I have "YET" to accomplish naturally!

I've competed in different organizations, some drug tested others not, but I have always stood proud and represented all the "NATURAL MONSTERS" out there. I will continue to be 100% drug free and represent all the Natural competitors and organizations very well!

Advice :

The one thing that I would share with fellow bodybuilders is that from all my years of training it was never the weights that won me a competition it was the nutrition and conditioning! Meaning that you don't have to be able to lift tons of weight to develop that winning physique. It's all about nutrition and cardio when it comes down to it. So leave the egos at the door and let your body speak for you on stage!!
