The Comeback Tour by Brian Roche
By
Brian Roche
In my early twenties I won the Irish National Bodybuilding Championships. I became Mr. Ireland, winning both my weight class and the overall bodybuilding competition. I retired, life happened and more than 22 years later I returned to competition in 2019. I competed in the OCB Spirit of America, placed 1st in the 40+ class and earned my OCB pro-card.
There are two questions I’m asked most often when people hear my story:
1. When is your first pro show?
2. How did you do it at 44, after 22 years?
In this book I’ll primarily address question number two for the sole purposes of assuming you’d like me to pass on my recipe for success, the ‘secrets’ if you will, to returning to competition after all this time.
I’ll also assume that you’re aspiring to get in shape which often means losing body fat and changing your body composition. Even if these are not your primary goals, I think you’ll get something out of my story.
Returning to competition at this level after so many years has felt like ‘coming home’. When I retired a deep chasm existed that I wasn’t sure how to fill, until now. But returning to this level of competition after so long has been more difficult than I ever could have imagined. Equal to the challenges are the rewards; the satisfaction of achieving my goals at 44. I’m a firm believer in the laws of attraction. You get back what you put out into the universe. I willed success into existence and believed I’d achieve my goals with every fibre of my being. I devoted myself to the mission.
The universe has rewarded me with this amazing gift, the gift of winning, the gift of a pro-card. I’m going to give back to the Universe and to you with this book, the secrets of this success so you can achieve your own ‘Comeback Tour’..
