thanks fellas, and lady if i have time, i'll upload a shot when i wake up tomorrow morning.

yep, you wanna be "too dark" or else the stage lights will blow you out. you might be surprised if you were standing next to some of the guys on the magazine covers if you saw them when they first got off stage. also, this shot was taken right after my 2nd coat was applied. it will settle itself in and fade a little over night.

hey guys!!!

prejudging went well. it's between me and one other guy. he has more of a symmetrical type look, much like me. he's a little bit bigger, but i'm a little bit sharper.

we'll see how it goes tonight. this was the only pic i could grab quickly to throw up on the board, that i had someone take of me and my trainer, just 30 min before pump up time.

i really couldnt have timed things out better. this was a perfect morning.

hey guys. i took 2nd in my class. the guy who beat me also won masters and the overall. i'd be lying if i said i wasnt a little disappointed. he did look good. he was a little bigger than me, though i was a little leaner. overall, it was a successful prep. this was the biggest i;ve ever been and the best conditioning, so i know i'm moving in the right direction. i just keep telling myself, if i had another 10 lbs, they wouldnt be able to deny me!

i didnt go in expecting to win this show. this is the first time i competed as a LHW. i took last year off competing to extend my off season period. i came in 12 lbs heavier this time around. i also improved my presentation and overall last week timing. i learned a lot.

i'm gonna relax my diet for the next few days and then put together a plan for our states biggest show in about 8 wks. i already have my gear lined up, continuing on a similar plan, using geneza pharm. we'll make a couple little tweaks along the way. thanks for paying attention to my prep everyone. i'm excited to be able to share the good and the bad, here with all of you. i'll be post up more pics and details soon. for now though...its time for a shower!!!
