Well here is how the last days went to my show:
Friday- Drank a little over 2 gallons that day, and dropped my water intake by 3pm with little sips to take my amino acids, and later to wash down Xpel 2 doses.
I looked great did not have much water to drop, and being the hyper carb sensitive thinking guy that I am i carb loded lightly on yams, rice cakes, low sugary carbs... Not a good idea. So I went to bed finally at about 1 am.
Saturday-Woke up SHOWTIME all was well I looked tighter, and my legs and arse tightened up after a night wrap in PrepH and saran wrap. So I get dressed packed up and drive to comp. Get there register for Light Heavyweight DIv, as I just knew I was a LT Heavy, because 2 weeks ago I was 205, so figuring after dropping water and 2 cardio sessions daily you would think i would be a lt Heavy. ROFL - I weighed in at 204 !!!! WTF i thought, but then a Lt Heavy took off his warmup suit I was like DAMN I am glad I am not Lt Heavy. The heavyweight div had six guys and one clear cut winner, as it wasn't me, as my legs were not diced. I at least thought 4th or fifth as those places were held by guys who did not look as good as me. NO real up top muscle, and the other guy was just tall with no real defining muscles.
Now back to the pump room as I am sitting there loading lightly with granola and graham crackers while others are wolfing down honey like Pooh Bear, and other satifying their craving with Snicker abndance. One guy said he spent 12 on just candy at WALGREENS!!! So I sit and meagerly eat my low glycemic carbs. Prejudging comes and guess who is FLAT...
After prejudging I wolf down raisins and nuts and some sugar. And I feel tight, oh man what a big difference. I eat at subway and I bust into a sweat, and the fullness is insane. Then Later after for the nite show I partake in the guy's Walgreens candy, and can I tell you Striaitions were apprearing on my quads, chest, and Vascularity was INSANE. Def Six pack goin on, and serratus seperation!!! quads were more defined, and guess what it was too late, by the finals time and ****ed up posing routine, I had placed sixth dead last.
Now what was cool that most of the competitiors thought I had 4th or 5th, but still reinterated on my legs. Juges said the same-legs... So there I was with no trophy, but experience. And by the time I got home guess what I had almost an 8pack. Damn I peaked almost 24 hrs too late.
So on to the next comp I go, rest for Dec. and March 31 the biggest Novice show of the country is calling me: Mid Illinois Bodybuilding Comp!!!! in Ottawa where jay Cutler again will be Posing.
Ohh yes can I say I see why Jay won... HIS BACK IS ****IN HEEYOOOGE!!!! Seriously I have seen Joel Stubbs Back, he really cannot walk through a door, without goin in sideways. Jay's back is almost thta wide, as I have seen Ronnie's back, and as far as width JAY HAS HANDS DOWN!!!
