Depending on how high you raise the bar, it's never easy but always worth it. 💪🏾#patbanya #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #naturalbodybuilding #natty #nattybodybuilding #fitness #muscle #flex #pose #wereallgonnamakeit #wagmi (at Springfield, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfny_sSvPPw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I spent Saturday at the @mmvanpc competition. As you can see, the NoVA bodybuilding scene is in good hands. Also, special thanks to @corrymatthews for making this such a fun event. It doesn't feel like "work" when you're in the presence of friends. 🙏🏾 (at Gar-Field Senior High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWSZeIDLL0D/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm just trying to be the best version of myself. Nothing more, and nothing less. 🙏🏾 #patbanya #natural #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #naturalbodybuilding #natty #nattybodybuilding #nattybodybuilder #mybestself #introspection #comparison #itsnotacompetiton #evolution #growth #personaljourney thebestisyettocome #life #wereallgonnamakeit #pose #aesthetic #yolo #blessed #blessedandgrateful (at Springfield, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGROWAAUAg/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love comparing progress pics, especially when they're years apart. You start to lose sight of any changes when you see yourself everyday. In the first pic, I was 19 with a year and a half of solid training under my belt. Good diet, and a fast metabolism kept me lean year round. Of course, I wanted to get bigger, so the calories gradually increased. In the second pic, I'm 28 and close to my all time best. Maybe only ten pounds separating the two, but the scale never tells the whole story. #patbanya #naturalbodybuilding #naturalbodybuilder #nattybodybuilding #nattybodybuilder #natty #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #comparison #back #muscles #biceps #backdoublebiceps #reardoublebiceps #pose #bdb #rdb #nostalgia #memories (at Springfield, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU6LKoEDdgJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

The best captions are the ones that happen spontaneously. Took me a while to think of that. 😂 #patbanya #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #naturalbodybuilding #natty #nattybodybuilding #weekend #weekendvibes #laugh #joke #jokeoftheday #itsnotthatserious #venividivici (at Springfield, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU0l5fpvCeM/?utm_medium=tumblr

I think after yesterday's social media blackout, we could all use a hug. ☺ #patbanya #natural #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #naturalbodybuilding #natty #nattybodybuilding #freehugs #itsokay #ipromise #newday #newopportunities #fit #fitness #fitfam #staypositive #smile #reallifeisgreaterthansocialmedia (at Springfield, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqbxeWvFqM/?utm_medium=tumblr

That feeling when you've just finished binging a Rocky marathon and you’re ready to fight your own reflection.

12 years ago... On Saturday, August 22, 2009 at Norfolk’s Harrison Opera House, I won the light heavyweight and overall title at the NPC Lenda Murray Bodybuilding, Figure, and Bikini Championships.
