On July 10, 2010, Don High took 1st place at the St. Louis Natural Bodybuilding competition earning him his pro-card as an IFPA Professional Natural Bodybuilder. When Don walked on stage to accept his 1st place award, he did not get there on his own. Don is only one member of a team. It was the team that enabled Don to get there. That team is a partnership made up of a lead trainer, his first trainer, a workout team, a supporting gym, a good diet including supplementation, a supporting family, and hard work.
Fred Rowlett has been Don's lead trainer for many years. Fred's bodybuilding strategy enabled Don to move up from 4th and 5th place to 2nd and 1st place wins. James Murray was Don's first trainer living in the St. Louis area. He introduced Don to the whole concept of bodybuilding and competing. He was there encouraging and advising Don the very night Don won his IFPA pro-card.
The weight training team is made up of the strongest guys in Arkansas. Click on each of their names to read more about them.
Randall Hough is a powerhouse when it comes to power lifting.
Pound for pound, Nick Early has proven himself competing in power lifting
Big Bob Bittle has proven himself competing in power lifting recently winning 1st place overall in Arkansas
The combination of these men training together is what has made them successful.
We also welcome Jennifer Wolfe as the newest member of our team.Jennifer will be competing in figure in Tulsa and in Bentonville.
The team works out at World Gym in Bentonville. This is the only gym in Arkansas that has two pro bodybuilders. It is also where the three strongest men in Arkansas workout. You could say that this gym is where the pros go to train. World Gym has always been very supportive and encouraging to the team, attending and sponsor the bodybuilding events in Bentonville.
Don's encouragement to others is that teamwork is what really works. Everyone mentioned above is part of the team. No one makes any great success on one's own. The sum is greater than any of its parts. Success is shared success and happens because of the many folks that all work together. One person may be standing on the stage accepting the award but how did she or he get there? Also, true success is in how you make others successful. If you win 1st place and no one else benefits, you have achieved nothing. If from your success, you have encouraged others to succeed; you have a true measure of what this really means. This is why Performance Press exists. This magazine contains the stories of others who have been successful to help you to be successful.
Hopefully this will help motivate you to realize that it has been done, 2nd it can be done, and 3rd you can also do it. But, you can't go at it alone. You need the support of your family and friends to help make you successful. You also need to seek out those professionals who have been successful to help guide you to success.
