Dedication = Pratherian

[Bando]

This O35'er has not been in the game that long, but his tenacity and determination have been inspirational for us that know him. 1 week out from his 1st show (doing as a tribute for a family member with a medical condition) he's dialing chit in and getting work done. Proud to call you friend Prath and knock 'em dead!

[bodyhard]

Way to go man!

[djwolford]

Who dafuk is Pratherian?

(Seriously though, Prath is one of my biggest inspirations. Pure dedication.)

[anonymous]

Getting s..t done , very cool! Rep him for me

[IronCharles]

Pratherian is very inspiring, a badass, and a good guy all around. Good luck with your show next week, sir!

[pratherian]

Wow,

I don't know what else to say but thank you guys.
I stumbled across the forums 3 years ago in oct after getting back in the gym
After a 25 year dirty bulk. Competing has always been a dream since I was a young man, but life and a series Of bad decisions got in the way.
My best thinking got me fat, so I started listening to others that came into my life that had earned it.
I now try to help others, and to try and convince the young ones to chase their dreams NOW.
I was the guy who didn't take his shirt off in public for 25 years, I have never done posing, so winning isn't on my radar.
I have competed against myself. I have proved I can do prep and all the cardio, and nobody died or was injured.
And my next goal is a lean bulk.
I wil be 46 in December, and I like the idea of having a goal I am always working toward.
Once again, thank you guys and gals from the Dirty South Crew.
You guys from the OV-35 have my deepest respect.
Bando, IC, cbb, lbm I love you like family.
A lot of you know I had and continue to have minimal to no support at home, and I sincerely don't know
Where I would be without you guys.
Thank you.

Now I am off to run my first ever 5k

Yeah
Me
Run
Lol

[ljimd]

[trickyB]

Solid work! Always great to see people getting it done without a lot of fan fare. Much respect!

[doughnutgut]

You know how I feel about this buddy.

Proud dng is proud.

You transformation is astounding. Your determination to keep away from them burgers and listen to your coach and be pushed on by (the kid) and your friends at this time is going to steed you well.

I got no good lucks. Cos you don't need any.

You already won in my mind mate.

[Plateauplower]

I'm in the same boat. Get zero support at home. Tried to go to gym this morn and got the lip. Don't you go 5 days a week already and blah blah blah
