Whats happening guys! I just wanted to check in and give a quick shout to Naps and Next Level Nutrition. Here are the results of 16 grueling weeks. I came in 2nd, in LHW, at my show and was the leanest I have been to date. I had some health issues leading in, which effected my carb up and water manipulation, but nothing was going to stop me and I still did some damage in the line up. The guy who beat me went on to take the overall.

Thaks guys. I've done this show 3 times now, since 2009 and this is the 2rd time I've gotten a 2nd place trophy there. Always some dude with rounder, better genetics that comes in, not as conditioned, but better shape and then beats me on that. Oh well haha. I'm a perinial 2nd placer lol. But this is the best I've looked. I plan to come back next year with 5 more lbs and better arms, plus keep bringing up the legs...and everything else lol

Hey Sam,2nd place is a great accomplishment in itself brother.Great work man.So many things can sway the judges decisions unfortunately not always the right way.You've made it to where many never will so take pride in that fact for sure.

Keep it going man.Inspirational to us all.

Thanks guys and sorry to hear about your injury, Ares. Hope you recover soon buddy!

I am proud. I would like to win it all one of these times though. It seems like there is always one guy that holds me back. Honestly though, the way my mind works, I focus on that guy after the show and use him as a way to be better. Use him as a bench mark that I need to be better than. For me, competition is a way that I can push harder than I would have been able to otherwise, having this outside catalyst. So yea, its not about the first place trophy or the excitement that goes along with it. That stuff would be nice, but in the end, it is about being better than I was. I need to get some side by side pics together from last show to this show. I want to see the progress I made in my legs and back. I was given an amazing gift this past year, to become the back day training partner of a very well known 212 pro that is known for gnarly conditioning and a blue collar work ethic. His workouts are designed by John Meadows. So on back day, the area I wanted to work on most (and legs) has been kick ass and I've seen some good changes. I can't wait to see what the 2016 season will bring. I'm getting closer to where I want to be
